Places near Aghios Ioannis
A small plateau and its village between Handras (or Ziros) plateau to west and Karidi village to north, at 620 m above sea level, 18 kms from Sitia, whose name probably has some connection with ancient Itanos.
One of the largest caves in Crete, Oxo Latsidi, can be found to the northwest of the village at Patelia. In south-west of the village a Minoan farmhouse was found. At the location Vrissi, on the edge of the village, a wonderful fountain of Ottoman architecture was restored recently.
The whole plateau (with Ziros Plateau) is planted with vineyards and the region is famous for its wine and raki production.
Church of Timios Prodromos (St. John the Baptist) (Sitanos)
This is a Byzantine church belonging to the architectural style of free cross with dome—one of only a few of its kind in eastern Crete. Its surviving murals are few but showcase excellent craftsmanship and date back to the 14th century
