“Everything’s ready for the Patmos Revelation which will take place on the sacred island between June 30th – July 2nd. The main purpose of the Municipality of Patmos, in cooperation with The Region of South Aegean is to attract athletic-oriented tourists who will participate in the event and become acquainted with the significant history of the island,” announced the Greek National Tourism Organization.
The open water swim will be held at Grikos Bay where the Greek national open water swimming team will also compete.
