Greece Patmos Dodecanese

This original vintage Greek travel poster from 1976 promotes Patmos, one of the beautiful Dodecanese islands in the Aegean Sea. Issued by the Greek National Tourism Organisation (GNTO), the poster features a color photograph by N. Mavrogenis.

The photograph captures the distinctive whitewashed architecture of Chora, the historic hilltop town of Patmos, with traditional houses, narrow passages and sunlit terraces overlooking the island's rugged landscape and deep blue sea. The composition beautifully conveys the peaceful atmosphere and timeless charm of the Greek islands.

Patmos is particularly famous for its association with St. John the Theologian, who, according to Christian tradition, wrote the Book of Revelation on the island. The historic centre of Chora, together with the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian and the Cave of the Apocalypse, was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1999.

A beautiful and decorative original 1976 Greece tourism poster, capturing the traditional architecture and Mediterranean scenery of Patmos. An attractive example of 1970s Greek travel advertising that would look wonderful framed.

In good condition with minor age wear and pinholes in each corner.
