The Monastery of St. John the Theologian, set like a crown on top of the settlement of Chora, is the island's landmark. Its construction started in 1088, when the Byzantine emperor Alexios Comnenus the First granted the whole island to St. Christodoulos to organise a settlement for monastic purposes.
