Just a few meters before reaching the village of Kato Viannos we meet the cemeterial temple that celebrates on August 6, as it is dedicated to Transfiguration of Jesus Christ (Sotiras Christos). It was built during the Venetian Era and its exterior is simple, but its interior has many frescoes, quite damaged, which are brilliant. Among them, we discern Saint Mamas, Saint Polykarpos, and all riding saints.
