Metochi of Agios Ioannis Eleimonas (Greek Άγιος Ιωάννης Ελεήμονας  = Saint John a merciful ) was founded in 1867 or 1869 by monk Isidoro Kyriakopoulo from Marathokampo village.

It is simple and small metochi and built on the ruins of ancient monastery. The building has ten cells and the church is separate from the building.
