If you are planning a holiday in Greece, and you are interested
in making a unique stopover on a small island, then let the
"melmeti" - the cool Aegean wind - blow you away
on a magical voyage through space and time, over sea lanes
and through beyond eras, on a journey of colours and poetic
communication with sounds of the songs of Nobel Prize Winner
Odysseus Elytis.
Let yourself be carried away to a destination that weds, the
transcendental with he earthly, where a pilgrimage to a place
sacred to all Cristedom may be combined with a peaceful holiday,
spiritual meditation and worship of God with the waves breaking
on the rocks, the solemn half-light of the churches with the
blinding rays of the sun, the stark white of the buildings
with the warm colours of the earth, the lustrous golden radiance
of the Byzantine icons with the deep cobalt blue of the sea,
spiritual peace with the welcoming, hospitable human environment,
the Byzantine hymns wafted on the air with the islands earthy
folk songs. Let yourself be taken to the place where your
soul and your body are calling you. Follow the melodious chiming
of the bells of the Monastery of St. John. Let yourself be
draw in by Patmo's force of attraction
