Likely Patmos...

According to Pliny, the Greeks believed that there was an island in the far north where, in a land of sunshine and fruits, the happy inhabitants, lived for over a thousand years without growing old. They ended their days by leaping off a certain rock into the sea after having had a full life. This was called Hyperborea.
