    Hiking

    At the end of the 19th century, the Orthodox church that stood there was converted into a mosque. The pretty purification fountain was also built in the square at that time.

    The upper part of the minaret was destroyed in the 1953 earthquake. Today the building is used as a music school.

    The mosque was built in the old town (Kato Mera) at the end of the 19th century when the Turks conquered Ierapetra and modified the church of Agios Ioannis for their religious purposes. It is kept in very good condition to this day.

    It is spacious and has a Muslim inscription from the Koran on the marble lintel of the entrance. Its minaret was repaired around 1953 and dominates the district. Opposite the mosque there is a Muslim fountain that has also been restored.
