Modern Description: Located at the SE border of Koropi. The church may have stood at a crossroads leading from Koropi both to Vari (SW) and to Markopoulo (east). The Metamorphosis church is a perfectly preserved example of a cross-in-square church, the aisles of which are separated from each other with wall sections (instead of columns), bearing a semi-cylindrical apse with a three-light window. Due to its architectural features, it has been dated to the 3rd quarter of the 10th c., while the frescoes belonging to the original phase have been dated around 1000. Restoration works revealed graves of the 11th/12th c. in the interior of the church.
