About Patmos...


Historical and other
Is it possible to describe something which you haven't seen, something that only you have imagined and your imagination loved it so much? It appears that it is. In a quiet, at least up now , place, in this ideal but enigmatic island is where Oreste came chased from Erinyes,where we also reach chased from our fantasies.

We are here. Here that was transported banished in 95 ac Ioannis the Theologian, here thatwas written this bad , prophetic but enigmatic text. Here, that a lot of Christians found shelter after the captured of Konstantinoupoli, here, that in 1713 was founded by the patmo's deacon and scholar Blissful Kalogera, the eminent “Patmiada Sxoli”, here that was given birth Filikos Emmanouil Xanthos. Here it is, that ,who knows why, we hope the hour to reach. Visit it and discover it . Reveal it perhaps.

This night
They say that this place is magic. Iit is Blessed. They also say, that here the visitor can be sunk in his thoughts, find himself, or even write poems! They say many and contradictorily. We are not in position to agree or to disagree. We passively and passionately, simply the eyelids close as if they are theater curtain. And then the show begins: the instigator whispers to us: dialogs, monologs and descriptions. And we were left, we were drifted, we were charmed. We are surrender. We see ourselves crossing easily, but not pointlessly all the island. We observe them climbing with comfort the rocks, walk the plains, the hills go up without breathing deeply. Hear the calm sea histories fascinating the murmurs, and finally, we see them they reach light in the top. We enter in the medieval castle that the Andriko Kastromonastiro of Saint Ioannis of Theologian was founded in 1088 from the monk Christodoylo Latrino with golden bull of the Byzantine Emperor Alexioy A `Komninos.

We raise the eyes in the sky. With gauze light blue it has been covered by the heat as it wants to be protected. The stars small, bright, silver fasteners in order to fix the light blue tulle on him. One light blue tender, friendly, accessible. This here the island, this sky, this night they are completely ours until it dawns. We don't not need to look down, the gauze is transformed in mirror and a big part of island is opened front us, a big part of majestic island that is framed from the around islets. They say that deserves to be turned all by everyone, goes to the Plain, the village that is in interior, goes to the Scale, in, from the antiquity, harbor of island, that was selected for his deep gulf and was developed in the place of ancient capital of island , in their foot of hill Kasteli. Many people say and for the around islands, for Agathonisi and for their Arkous at they are beautiful.
