According to BuzzFeed, Greece’s Patmos Island is Europe’s most underrated location. The island is very small, easy to navigate, and is home to just over 3,000 people.
Patmos is an Aegean island north of the Greece Dodecanese Island group and is also an important Christian pilgrimage site. The Cave of Revelation is the place where John of Patmos (Theologian St. John) is said to have written the book of revelation. It is also known as “Jerusalem of the Aegeans.” The island features an 11th century monastery, dedicated to a saint overlooking the house of Chora, the capital on the hill.
Forbes magazine called Patmos “the most idyllic place in Europe” and said, “Patomos has evolved over the centuries, but has not lost its air of tranquility.
Many Patmians believe that they live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and that many choose not to leave the island.
Some believe in the idea that the world ends there and that it resembles the edge of Christendom.
Pathos is located just 15 miles from Türkiye’s East and the East of the Asian continent.
Chora, the heart of the island with a rich history, was declared by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, along with the abbey of theologian St. John.
It is mainly sandy beaches, with the streets paving with gorgeous tiles, cocktail bars and cafes.
Patmos is very similar to other Greek islands, with narrow, cobblestone streets, friendly cats and beautiful architecture.
However, there is no airport, so you will need to arrive by boat. The nightlife is slightly lacking, and he also states that there are strict rules for nudity after hippies tried to settle in the 1970s.
Celebrities such as David Bowie have visited the island in the past, and are one of the most beautiful spots in the world, let alone Europe.
