Chapel of Agios Ioannis Theologos. St Jphn the Theologian.
The chapel of Agios Ioannis Theologos is situated near the settlement of Kapsali, 2.5 km south of Kythera.
The chapel was built in 1592, on a steep slope, thus it is called Agios Ioannis Gremon (: St John of the crevices).
It was built in honour of the Evangelist John, as it is said that he lived here for a while, on his way to Patmos, writing part of the Apocalypses. The steep slope makes access to the church difficult, yet the view compensates for this.
The pilgrims who come here on August 29th for the feast day of the church, usually stay in the preserved cells next to the church.
