Agios Ioannis is a village of Lasithi prefecture, in the municipality of Ierapetra. It lies 17 kilometers north-east of Ierapetra, 7 kilometers west of Schinokapsala and 9 kilometers from the sea (Koutsounari settlement). It is built south of Thripti mountain in a site with extensive views. The majority of the people that lived here, have moved during the last 3 decades to the beach (Koutsounari and Ferma settlements) and to Ierapetra. In the middle of the road towards Schinokapsala, you cross the forest of "Psihro" hamlet with springs, platans, pine and other trees. The water from the springs follows a route across "Milonas gorge" and ends to the sea some 7 kilometers further. In the Aghios Ioannis area there are also a number of beaches, including the Long beach and Aghia Fotia.
The larger community of Agios Ioannis is represented by a five-member Council headed by the Emmanouil Kidonakis. The community office is located in Koutsounari.[1]
