The cave of Saint John the Hermit or Xenos in Avlaki Gorge, in north Cape Akrotiri, is located just a few hundred meters away from the monastery Gouverneto and next to the abandoned Katholiko Monastery. Similarly to Cave Arkoudospilios this was a riverbed with a total length of about 135 meters, forming a horizontal room. Its rich decoration is characterized by large stalactites and stalagmites. Inside the cave at the beginning and the end of the cave there are icons and candles. There is also a carved underground tank with coating, created to collect water. To the right of the tunnel, after 15 meters from the entrance, there is a small room with an artificial entrance. At the end of the cave, at 135m length, there is a big stone basin, which is told to have been the tomb of Saint John the Hermit. In this last room there are also several inscriptions of travelers, engraved on the walls and stalactites, some of which are very old.
