Which country does the island of Patmos belong to?

Patmos is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It is perhaps best known today as the location the apostle John received the visions found in the "Book of Revelation" of the "New Testament", and where the book was written. It has a population of 2,998 and an area of 34.05 km2 (13.15 sq mi).

According to a legend in Greek mythology, the island's original name was "Letois", after the goddess and huntress of deer, Artemis, daughter of Leto. It was believed that Patmos came into existence thanks to her divine intervention.

"Forbes" magazine, in 2009, named Patmos "Europe's most idyllic place to live", writing that "Patmos has evolved over the centuries but has not lost its air of quiet tranquility, which is one reason why people that know it return again and again".
