Holy church of the Transformation of Christ and Agios Spiridon

The holy church of the Transformation of Christ and Agios Spiridon lies on the North side of the town of Kissamos. It was built in 1865 out of lime, stone and a special red earth from Santorini, strong enough to preserve the integrity of the structure for many years, funded by people of the parish and with their meticulous volunteer work, supervised by architect Ioannis Kaloroumos, from Akrotiri.

The parish put together the church’s museum, which keeps and displays sacred artefacts and treasures of literature of the past, open to the public. In particular, it contains icons of various techniques, benediction and consecration crosses, chalices, candlesticks, incenses, books and other various sacerdotal vestments of the metropolis and parish priests.
