When approaching the main town of Skala, the most noticeable feature is the monastery of St John the Evangelist that crowns the hill of Chora. The island became famous after St John wrote the book of Apocalypse from a cave you can still visit today. Thousands of Christians from all over the world flock to the island each year, to visit this sacred and mystical cave and monastery. Other monasteries include the women’s monastery of Evangelistria, built later on in 1613, which is also available to visit.
