Patmos
The island where Saint John the Evangelist took shelter in 95 A.D. to write the Apocalypse is pure magic. A perfect mix of harmony, elegance and majesty, Patmos is curvy in shape and warm in the colours of the land that dives into the cobalt blue sea.
Lipsi
The small, peaceful and sleepy Lipsi is everybody’s favourite for the sheer charm of its welcoming nature. The legend says that even Ulysses had a hard time to leave this jewel of the Aegean Sea.
Ikaria
Ikaria owes its name to the legend according to which the wax-winged Icarus flew too close to the Sun that melted his wings and made him fall on this marvellous sea. It is a quite unknown island with an undeserved bad reputation: in fact, the threat of the tremendous katabatic wind that keeps sailors far away from its shores has preserved its wilderness and pristine beauty.
