Agios Ioannis

The construction of the settlement began in 1958. The first residents moved into their new homes in 1962. Agios Ioannis was an isolated settlement with the feel of a village surrounded by fields, flocks of sheep and cows, a poultry farm, a textile dyeing factory, numerous wells, and street vendors. The settlement consisted of 39 buildings with 230 apartments (three-storey with two flats on each floor). Seven shops would operate on the ground floors of two buildings, while the settlement’s church was added later.
