Patmos
Patmos is a small Greek island located in the Aegean Sea. It is where the disciple John wrote the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible. For this reason, Patmos is an important religious pilgrimage destination. According to Greek mythology, the original name of the island was Letois, after the goddess Artemis. It was underwater until Artemis, with her brother Apollo, persuaded Zeus to raise the island and give life to it. For best viewing, use an iPad or larger monitor.
