Welcome to the monastery of St. Ioannis the Baptist. The monastery which is situated near the village of Katastari (Hartata/3 km away from property)was built in the 16th century and offers a free view to the nearby neighbour-island Kefalonia and to the coast of the Peloponnese. Even though this post-byzantine monastery, which is located on the mountain north of Alykes, was the place to keep various masterpieces of great value, in the past it was a rest area for the pilgrims. You have the opportunity to see the icons of famous painters and the wonderful precious wood footstools. The building includes an abbey, 2 floors and a tower with a circular base, which served as a defense in the past.
