Interior of the Monastery of St John

The 12th century exonarthex, or outer porch, of the main church in the Monastery of St. John the Divine on Patmos is extensively decorated with 18th and 19th century frescos depicting scenes from the life of the saint. On our cultural cruise of the Northern Dodecanese, the visit to the monastery, with its atmosphere both deeply sombre and highly serene, makes for an unforgettable experience.
