Easter in Patmos!



The Jerusalem of the Aegean” or “Holy island” is one way of describing Patmos Island. Don't miss the unique Easter celebrations (Greek Orthodox Easter) where you will have the chance to see a staging of Christ's Last Supper. Patmos, Jerusalem and Vatikan are the only places where this staging takes place in all over the world. So, Holy Thursday you should be on Patmos and especially at the main square of Chora. With the view of the island you also have the chance to feel the the holy spirit of these days.
