The Holy Monastery of St. John the Theologian is an Orthodox monastery founded in 1088 on the island of Patmos at the location where both Catholics and Orthodox believe that John the Apostle wrote the Gospel and the Revelation. Since 1999, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This is a small church perched atop the highest point of the island of Ikaria. It is constructed from local stone.
