The Church of Agios Ioannis Theologos is located outside the village of Galatas in Crete, Greece, near the Minoan Palace of Galatas in the Drakonero area. It is a Byzantine-era, two-aisled church with a surviving arkosolio (Venetian tomb monument) likely belonging to the church’s founder.
The church’s frescoes are unfortunately in very poor condition. Near the church, there is a well with water and the foundations of what may have been monastic cells, suggesting the site was once a monastery.
