As we head down towards the sea at Schinos, we
come to the church of the Transfiguration, which over the course of the centuries
has undergone frequent alterations and additions. In earlier times, it was a groin-vaulted
building, but today it is a single-aisled structure with a vaulted roof. The ornamentation
of the window in the semicircular sanctuary apse takes the form of a dog-toothed
band of ceramics, which means that the earliest building phase can be dated back
to the twelfth or thirteenth century. To the east are the foundations of a semicircular
apse, which presumably belonged to an earlier and much larger church.
Two kilometers to the east of Schinos on the road to Alepochori
is the single-aisled church of St Blaise. The original structure dates from 1969,
and much care was put into its later reconstruction.
