Information

The Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Christ is located on the waterfront of Pothia and has been there since 1861. The church has a fine iconostasis crafted by the great sculptor Giannoulis Halepa and paintings of local artists such as G. Alachouzos and S. Magklis. The church has been declared a monument due to its particular historical, religious and cultural value. In 1884 an assembly took place here and the sponge divers established for the first time trade rules and labor law.
