On a wonderful spot, on a side of mount Kissavos with a panoramic view, Saint John the Baptist’s monastery is located. The monastery dates from 1797 and is on the same spot where was located Saint John the Baptist’s earlier monastery built by Damianos Myrichoritis in 1550.
The monastery closed down in 1888. The place where Saint Damianos led an ascetic’s life is 600 m away from the monastery.
