Places near Agios Ioannis
Driving from Arkadi monastery (Rethimnon prefecture) towards Amnatos and Pikris village: This fine country road runs between olive groves and traverses a small gorge, bringing us after a distance of 2.5 km to the exceptional village of Pikris - already called Picri in the 16th century - located in the Arkadi monastery and Arkadi gorge. Its natural beauty due to a riot of greenery is favoured by the course of the river Arios (or Arkadiotis) which gave life to the village by watering the fields and powering its many watermills. Pikris is a Venetian village with many magnificent mansions. Without doubt, a walk through the picturesque alleyways is worthwhile, passing beneath the vaulted passageways to visit the Villa Clodio with its impressive doorway and the inscribed pediment which bears the date 1610. The church of the village cemetery is also Venetian; remains of wall-paintings are preserved in it.
