- Some operators offer loyalty discounts for repeat bookings – if you travel regularly in Greece, it is worth registering an account with the major companies.
- Once you arrive in Patmos, the UNESCO-protected old town of Hora and the imposing Monastery of Saint John the Theologian – built in the 11th century – dominate the hilltop above the port. The Cave of the Apocalypse, where Saint John is said to have written the Book of Revelation, is one of the most important Christian pilgrimage sites in the world.
