This was a great overview of Patmos! Our guide Yvonne was excellent & even recommended places for lunch & dinner (which were delicious)! So glad we did this tour, as we had limited time on the island, and I felt we really got a good overview. Plus, seeing the cave of the Apocalypse was extremely moving.
Awesome.

This is a difficult review to write. The tour calls for an English speaking driver. Our driver was not fluent in English. This forced us to hire a private tour guide at an extra cost and this is the only good part of the tour. Theologia was fantastic. She grsw up on the island and had vast knowledge of the local traditions and the monastery. She walked us through the monastery's museum and pointed out items that most people would not notice. If you book this tour, you need to include a tour guide.
