Transfiguration of the Saviour, Fournes

Churches

ABOUT

If you find yourself in the village of Fournes, in the municipality of Platanias, there’s a church you shouldn’t miss. It's the main church of the village: the two-aisled Church of the Transfiguration of the Saviour and Saint Panteleimon.

The village celebrates its feast with a lively panigyri on July 26, and the church stands out for a truly unique architectural feature—it’s the only one with 3 domes.

It was renovated in 2000, a restoration that brought joy to both locals and visitors alike.
