Patmos Patmos was the island where John wrote Revelation, sometimes known as the Apocalypse. It is a small island and one of the Dodecanese Islands of Greece and not far from the island of Kos that’s also mentioned in the Bible. (Acts 21:1) It overlooks the Turkish mainland and is not far from the ancient city of Bodrum. The small harbour is accessible by small ferries and hydrofoils. John wrote overlooking the harbour and with a good view of any visitors from Asia Minor (modern Turkey). Selected |
