Just warning you that Patmos may generate a few posts. We have had a great day or two here. The pace has been a bit more relaxed so there have been more opportunities to just enjoy the surroundings. I have had several swims at the beach that is part of the hotel area and a few short walks nearby too. We had a new guide to show us round the island yesterday, an English woman who has lived in Greece for over 40 years and on Patmos for over 30. Her name is Carolyn, but she told us that she prefers to use Antonia, the baptismal name she took when she joined the Greek Orthodox Church 3 years ago. As well as giving us a general tour, we had a couple of longer visits to a couple of sites which I will reserve for separate posts.
One totally random fact that I learned about Patmos on yesterday's tour is that it has a home for retired donkeys, funded by the Aga Khan who apparently owns several homes on the island and who must have a soft spot for donkeys who are ready to be pensioned off.Read more
