Cave of the Apocalypse

The leading British magazine "Conde Nast Traveller" explains the reasons why Patmos and Lipsi are synonymous with "well-being" and should be at the top of the international traveler's choices, in a recent tribute in the context of the new program of  the Hellenic Tourism Organiztion-EOT's UK bureau.

There are many reports from Dutch media about Greek destinations that are attractive to visit this year. During this period, the list of the five proposed destinations in Greece for religious tourism stand out, according to Griekenland.net, the "tourist source" of the Netherlands exclusively for travel to Greece.

In "Askitika," acclaimed Greek painter Christos Bokoros takes inspiration from the island of Patmos, a world-renowned pilgrimage site, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of it being named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Directed by conductor Alkis Baltas, the annual Festival of Religious Music of Patmos is taking place from August 20 to September 3 this year, at the eastern Aegean island's Cave of the Apocalypse, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The roster starts with the Saint Sion Choir from the island of Lesvos in Greek music written in praise of the Virgin Mary.

This year's Festival of Religious Music on the island of Patmos brings together a Byzantine choir from Limassol, a folk-pop singer who performs gospel tunes immortalized by though rarely attributed to Elvis Presley, classical orchestras in works by Bach, Handel and Verdi, as well as dozens more talented musicians and singers.

Looking for a beautiful Greek island, a relaxing place where you can retreat to and enjoy a quality vacation? Imagine taking long walks, swimming in enchanting bays with crystal clear blue waters and eating at authentic local tavernas. Patmos is all that and more, it will mesmerise you with its remarkable serenity.
