Built in 1867, the Church of Agios Spyridon is a magnificent example of Byzantine Revival architecture that perfectly captures the spirit of design.
Two campaniles—a tall one with a ribbed dome atop and a smaller one with a single bell—complement its stunning limewashed facade, barrel-vaulted roof, and recognizable blue dome.
The church is located next to the nearby Church of Anastasi, which is also considered a quintessential Oia landmark and stands on top of the high cliffs of the Santorini caldera. A memorable and picturesque image is produced by the cathedrals, the town's whitewashed homes, and the untamed surroundings.
