The old 17th-century Venetian Well is situated in the middle of Campiello, in Krematsi.
It was constructed in 1699 by Antonio Cocchini in the middle of a small square.

D(ΕΟ) O(PTIMO) M(AXIMO) OPVS ANTONII COCCHINI PRO COMMVNI BENEFICIO MDCXXXXIX 1699 (OPVS ANTONII COCCHINI PRO COMMVNI BENEFICIO MDCXXXXIX 1699). The same inscription in Greek could be seen on the face facing the church of Kremasti.

1 ArseniouYou reach another small square where you go straight on and then follow signs to the Venetian Well, up steps on the left. The well and eponymous restaurant are located in the picturesque Kremasti Square, so called because of the icon of the Virgin which used to hang (kremasti) on the wall of the church.
The well head, carved with stylized flowers and other symbols, was constructed by Antonis Kokkini in 1699 as a gift to the community. Until the 1840s when the British brought running water to the Town, supplies came from water sellers who hauled it from the nearby river, and from underground cisterns. Most of the Town's squares were built specially to collect rainwater and store it underground, and well heads such as this one gave the local people access to the supplies.
