Colour photographic view of Chora on Patmos with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian, photographed from the northwest. In the foreground stretches a barren, rocky landscape with sparse dry vegetation and a stone-paved path climbing towards the settlement. In the middle ground, the traditional whitewashed houses of Chora extend amphitheatrically across the hillside, while at the summit the monastic complex dominates the scene with its high walls and battlements.
