Patmos (Greek: Πάτμος, pronounced[ˈpatmos]) is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It is famous as the location where John of Patmos received the visions found in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, and where the book was written.
One of the northernmost islands of the Dodecanese complex,[3] Patmos has a population of 3,283 (2021) and an area of 34.05 km2 (13.15 sq mi). The highest point is Profitis Ilias, 269 metres (883 ft) above sea level. The municipality of Patmos, which includes the offshore islands of Arkoi (pop. 44), Marathos (pop. 5), and several uninhabited islets, has a total population of 3,047 (2011 census)[4] and a combined land area of 45.039 square kilometres (17.390 sq mi).[5] It is part of the Kalymnos regional unit.
In 1999, the island's historic center Chora, along with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse, were declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO because of their significance in Christianity and the preservation of ancient religious ceremonies that occur on the island.[6] The monastery was founded by Christodoulos Latrinos.[7] Patmos is also home to the Patmian School, a notable Greek seminary.
