Getting from Agathonisi to Patmos

If you are heading to Patmos from Agathonisi you are making a short hop to a neighboring island in the northern Dodecanese group. It is where John the Apostle wrote the Book of Revelation and the 11th century monastery of Saint John the Theologian above Chora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
