Our Destinations

Patmos offers scenic sanctuaries, quiet beaches, and charming tavernas in lovely landscapes and vistas. An ancient monastery crowns the seahorse-shaped island, surrounded by a whitewashed old town of carved stone buildings and winding pathways.

The so-called “Jerusalem of the Aegean” is known as a sacred isle — the holy rock that inspired Saint John’s Book of Revelation in the bible. Alongside its religious heritage, the island holds a more subtle kind of spiritual magnetism: a rare stillness and sense of presence that invites contemplation and inspiration. It’s no wonder that over the years, Patmos has become a haven for writers, musicians, filmmakers, painters, designers, and philosophers who return for its quiet mystery and muse-like energy.

For guests of GoodWorld Salons, Patmos becomes more than a destination — it’s a setting for creative unfolding and shared presence. Mornings might begin in quiet reflection or with engaging conversation, while afternoons offer time to wander, write, or dive into the sea. As days stretch and soften, a sense of connection builds — to the place, to each other, and to one’s own inner life. Many leave the island feeling renewed, surprised by what surfaced when they gave themselves space to slow down and listen.
