Frequently Asked Questions
Ships anchor in the bay and tenders land passengers directly at Skala, the main town. The waterfront lines up cafés, shops and low houses around the fishing boats.
For the Cave of the Apocalypse and the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian. According to Christian tradition, Saint John, exiled here at the end of the first century, received the visions that became the last book of the New Testament. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage listing.
Allow about ten minutes by taxi or bus for the four-kilometre climb. The fittest take the old paved path that cuts across the hill; the Cave of the Apocalypse sits halfway up.
Yes, shoulders and knees must be covered at the entrance, as in most Greek holy sites. Wraps are sometimes lent on site, but it is better not to count on it.
The Cave of the Apocalypse, the monastery and the village of Chora form a coherent circuit that fills the morning. Back in Skala there is then time for a stroll along the port or a quick swim in the neighbouring bay.
The white village surrounding the monastery, a maze of lanes hiding captains' houses with carved doorways. Almost no shops, little noise: it is one of those places where you instinctively lower your voice.

Hand-painted icons, island honey and herbs, sold in the shops of Skala. The harbour cafés also serve almond pastries facing the boats.
The euro and Greek, with English understood in Skala. Bring cash for taxis, small icon shops and admission to the religious sites.
