The Monastery of St. John the Prodrome The Monastery of St. John the Prodrome is located at the eastern side of the island, by the shores of Pamvotis Lake. It was built in 1506/7 by the brothers Nectarios and Theophanis, members of an old and renowned byzantine family, the Apsarades. The catholikon got wall painted in 1789, while a restroration of the frescoes took place twice, in 1824 and 1891. Only the catholikon survives from the initial complex. It is single-spaced with two three-sided niches in both its northern and southern sides, as well as a narthex to the west. It was built mostly from stone blocks with bricks occasionally inserted. The woodcut icon screen is also dated in 1789, while a few pieces of the older one (16th century) still survive inserted in it. |
