Patmos (Greece)
One of the most eastern of the Greek
Islands, Patmos
was the exile-home of John the Beloved, and where he wrote the Book of Revelation. From Kusadasi (the modern day harbor city
nearest ancient Ephesus) we took a boat to Patmos, traveling much the same route on which John
undoubtedly was taken.Here we are, early in the morning, on the ferry.
