AGIOS IOANNIS
After 200 steps to the top of the 100m tall rock you will find the famous chapel. The tradition says that a fishinair from Glossa was returning at night and he sow on the top of the rock a light. He noticed the same light every night when a woman came in his sleep and she revealed to him that there was a holy image on the top of the rock to be found at the same place the light was glowing. When he climbed the rock he found the holy image and he took it with him home. Every day the image was back in place on the top of the rock. After that it was decided to build the chapel of Saint which name is celebrated every August 29th.
Below the rock is the idyllic setting of the weeding escort arriving and where “Donna and Sam” interpret the amazing song “the winner takes it all”.
