Kissamos – Cave Church of Agios Ioannis

The church is dedicated to Saint Prodromos and John the Baptist. According to tradition, it has been mentioned since the 10th century and is said to have been founded by John the Stranger. It was destroyed by the Ottomans in 1866 and survived due to its difficult accessibility. There was no road, so it could only be reached by boat. After WW II, pious volunteers rebuilt the church. A road now exists, and the church is easily accessible.
