Patmos - the blue and white island

Thank goodness for dear friends and weddings! If not for these two ingredients, this fantastic Greek island would most likely have been missed.

St. John is widely believed to have written Revelations here and is honored with a Greek Orthodox monestsry and the preservation of the cave which was his haven when exiled from Turkey.

Today 2,000 people call Potmos home. A widely international group own or rent traditional medieval houses and enjoy a lively creative environment on this volcanic island, rich with flowers, food and warm industrious people. The debt crisis? That is for another day!
