HALF-DAY
PATMOS
THE MONASTERY OF ST-JOHN, GROTTO, KAMBO, LAMBI
Depart the port of Scala and enjoy a short journey to the village of Chora,
where the Monastery of St-John is
built within the walls of a strong fortification. As you walk uphill towards the
entrance of the Monastery marvel at this magnificent structure which was built
900 years ago, exceptional in its architecture. View the courtyard, the Monks’
dinning room and the old bakery before you visit the main church noting its
outstanding frescoes and interior decoration. Next, see the priceless
ecclesiastical treasures housed in the beautiful but small museum: books and
manuscripts, mosaics, icons, splendid medieval textiles and vestments as well as jewellery. Return to your Motorcoach to continue on the nearby
Grotto of the Apocalypse, where above
stands the church the Apocalypse, a
sub-unit of the main Monastery. Walk down the steps to visit the Grotto, where
you will see the silver niches in the wall, that mark the pillow and ledge used
as a desk
by the author
of the Book of Revelations as well as the three-fold crack made by the Voice of
God emphasizing the honor of the Trinity. Afterwards, drive back to Scala
on the opposite side to continue your
trip towards Kambo village where you
will stop for a drink of water or juice or coffee whatever you prefer. You then
continue driving to reach to the traditional village
of Lambi
where you will discover the natural beauties and enjoy your free time.
Return back to the port to embark the ship.
