If you were a medieval invader, your welcome into the monastery would be a shower of hot oil. Your experience as a tourist is considerably more pleasant. You will be impressed as you walk through the Monastery of St. John. Highlights include this cobblestone courtyard, whitewashed arches, multiple chapels, numerous frescos and mosaics of religious icons, the former monks’ cells and refectory (dining room), a kitchen and bakery, saint relics, a treasury filled with priceless religious documents, art and vestiges plus a terrace offering stunning views.
