Take a day to discover with us the unique charm of this outstanding unspoiled Greek island. It so-called as Jerusalem of the Aegean sea. The island where St. John the Apostle spent the last years of his life and he also wrote his Revelation. In 1088 by the order of the Byzantine Emperor, a Monastery was founded commemorating the life of his Holy man on the island. A brilliant example of fortified monasteries, the convent also serves as a museum with a valuable collection of artifacts and books from the Byzantine and Ottoman history of the island. Wealthy though merchant and navy, the island has to show a unique architectural example, a mix between Venetian, Greek and Oriental styles combined in the so called Captain's Estates. Take a journey through history and culture through the narrow streets and the impressive villas, a journey worth every minute.
