Take a cruise to the quaint island of Patmos (sometimes referred to as the Holy Island due to its significance in the Christian religion and pure beauty) just off the mainland of Greece located on the Aegean Sea. This small island has a population of around 3,000 inhabitants and the official language on the island is Greek. Take a tour to the cultural hub of the Monastery of St. John, the Holy Cave of Apocalypse, or the Chora Patmos. Saint John wrote the Book of Revelation on Patmos which is why the Monastery is named as such. Combine your Greek cruise with a cruise to the neighboring Croatia and Italy to explore magnificent Venice or Rome. Or, venture the other direction to Turkey to visit Istanbul on a Mediterranean Cruise! What your itinerary holds is completely up to you!
