  • 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.

    of Skala, Patmos.

    Revelation.
