Church of Ayios Ioannis, Byzantine church ruin in Lindos, Greece.
The Church of Ayios Ioannis displays remnants of stone walls and architectural elements on the Acropolis grounds overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
During the Byzantine period, this religious structure served as both a place of worship and a defensive position against maritime invasions.
The church ruins represent the religious practices of medieval Greek Orthodox communities and their architectural methods in the Mediterranean region.
Visitors can reach the church ruins by following marked pathways from Lindos village, with morning hours offering better photography conditions.
The church foundations reveal an unusual octagonal layout, different from typical Byzantine church designs found elsewhere on Rhodes island.
