Monastery of the Dormition at Damandri

A small post-Byzantine monastery near Polichnitos, consisting of a single-space tile-roofed basilica with its service buildings. Its wall paintings date to the 16th century, with parts apparently repainted in 1733 by Michael Chomatzas of Chios, and the wooden iconostasis was assembled from components taken from neighbouring churches in the late Ottoman period.
