About this experience

The Churches in Agios Mamas are a cluster of historic Orthodox chapels and the main parish church, located in the coastal hamlet of Agios Mamas on the island of Spetses. These stone-built places of worship date from the 18th and 19th centuries, featuring carved wooden iconostases and bell towers overlooking the harbour. The site serves as the spiritual centre for local residents and a quiet stop for visitors exploring the island's inland paths.

What to expect

Visitors can enter the main Church of Agios Mamas, which holds a silver-plated icon of the saint and a marble font from 1810.
The adjacent chapel of Agios Nikolaos contains a 19th-century fresco cycle depicting the life of Saint Nicholas, visible on the interior walls.
A short walk from the churches leads to the old stone cistern and the remains of a Venetian watchtower, both within 200 metres.
The churches are open daily from 8:00 to 13:00 and 17:00 to 20:00, with no entry fee; a typical visit lasts 20 to 30 minutes.
The site suits those interested in religious architecture, local history, or quiet reflection, and is accessible via a 10-minute walk from the main harbour.
During the feast day on 15 August, a procession carries the icon from the church to the sea, followed by a communal meal in the square.
