Monastery of Agios Ioannis Theologos (St John the Theologian)

Overview of Monastery of Agios Ioannis Theologos (St John the Theologian)

Dominating the top of the hill in Patmos’ Chora, this grey-wall imposing complex resembles a mysterious fortress that contrasts beautifully with the whitewashed houses below. It is an impressive architectural maze of chapels, cells, cisterns and other spaces, including the exceptional library and museum that host some of the most important ecclesiastical treasures of Greece.
