Description:
The Holy Cave Of The Apocalypse (Tel. 312 34) is located
midway between Chora and Skala. Tradition holds that in
this cave St John --exiled to the island of Patmos by
the Roman emperor Domitian in AD 95-- dictated the Apocalypse
(Revelation) to his disciple. In front of the cave's mouth,
and climbing down a few stairs, the visitor can see the
church of Agia Anna. The latter, which underwent renovation
in the 17th century, is presently surrounded by a monastic
complex (Monastery of Apocalypse), with flower-filled
gardens, cells and chapels. Rock-cut steps lead to the
entrance.
