Title: 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.
