Patmos is the northernmost
island of the Dodecanese, on the eastern frontier of the Aegean Sea (southwest
of Samos). Generously endowed by nature, its.......
topography presents
a landscape of outstanding natural beauty, with small stretches of flat land
scattered among low, rocky hills. Impressive crenelated coasts are made up of
dozens of tongues of land reaching out into the sea, interspersed with picturesque
inlets.
The island's climate is dry; with frequent northerly winds and exceptionally
clear air, it is bathed in sunlight 3,000 hours a year. Patmos has an area of
only 34 square kilometers, and it is situated 161 nautical miles east of Piraeus
and Athens.
