Agios Nikolaos (St Nikolas) Chapel Vouliagmeni

sights

A well "hidden", almost unknown, but also abandoned chapel, is built in 1947 on a rock, on a slope of the neck of Vouliagmeni, almost next to the nautical club.
In one of the most unspoiled spots of Vouliagmeni, on the rocks after the marina in Vouliagmeni, swimmers, hikers and those who pass by boat meet a really strange tiny chapel.
Α large iconostasis of Agios Nikolaos, literally in the rock and with additions of stone, pebbles, marble and other materials, a construction that has created its own legend in the area.
The iconostasis is carved into stone with additions reminiscent of Byzantine church architecture (such as bell tower and enclosure). In the small interior space have been placed a number of images while in a marble slab is inscribed: "Agios Nikolaos. Taker Nick. Foreign painter sculptor 1947".
In four parts of the construction one finds today marble inscriptions, the content of which illuminates somewhat the personality of the artist and the philosophy he wanted to project from his work: "Work is prayer", "Work and love for neighbor is the preaching of Christ", "On the holiday there is constant disappointment" and "Zero profit of hatred and acquisition, everything futility."

Holy Church Agios Georgios (St George) - kavouri

sights

The Church of St. George the Great Martyr, the Trophy-bearing military Saint, was built in a pine-covered communal area of the Community of Vouliagmeni in 1950, to serve the worship needs of the Commando Forces Unit, which then camped in Kavouri.
In 1965, the Administration of the 128 S.E.T.I. of the Hellenic Air Force General Staff handed over the Church, a chapel, to the Community of Vouliagmeni, while the approximately 150 families who then lived "in Loutropolis", submitted an application to the Holy Archdiocese of Athens on the subject of the establishment of a Parish.
In September 1966, the Metropolitan Council approved the request and decided "the establishment of a parish of Agios Georgios Vouliagmenis in Attica". In the year 1974 in the original chapel, "a work of exceptional elegance and remarkable aesthetic appearance", an extension to the east was made based on a study by the architect Per. Sakellariou, keeping intact the picturesque form of the façade and the Bell Tower.
After the completion of the works, its hagiography was undertaken in 1977 and was painted from time to time by Ger. Manetta, Nick. Mylonas and Pan. Christopoulos.
With the continuous embellishment of the surrounding area, the orderliness, the quietness and the cleanliness that distinguish this sacred place, the Parish Church of St. George of the Municipality of Vouliagmeni attracts to the holy services and the Divine Worship, not only the parishioners, but also many believers from the wider region of Attica.
Celebrates: April 23 or the Second Day of Easter.

Holy Church Agios Ioannis (Saint John) - Voula

sights

The Church of St. John in Voula is located in the area of the commercial center of the city (the old residents call it Ano Voula), in the park between the two avenues, the coastal one, which is the continuation of Poseidon from Piraeus and Vouliagmeni, from Athens.
It is the only Church of St. John the Baptist, along the entire south beach of Attica.
In the early 1950s, the few permanent residents of the area, who belonged to the oldest Parish of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Voula, on the initiative of the Association for the Restoration of Landless Kropia (S.A.A.K.), founded in this area and erected the Chapel in the name of "St. John the Beheaded", which is first operated during its Feast, on August 29th of the year 1956.
Later and while the population of the area is increasing, it becomes a Parish, with the first permanent Vicar being the late Fr. Panagiotis Spyropoulos, who in the 1970s expanded the Church twice, until its current form.
The church is equipped with the necessary, from the offerings of the faithful and is embellished with hagiographies mainly of the late Painter - Hagiographer Demetriou Ritsos, parishioner of the Church, as well as his collaborator Antonios Lampadakis, who continues the completion of the project.
The iconostasis, offered by the late parishioners, the Gournas couple, is placed in late 1992 and the church has been air-conditioned since the mid-1990s. The offerings of the ever-increasing believers are important, given their desire to maintain their anonymity. The priests who serve today in the Church, provide opportunities for spiritual training, with frequent Speeches, breakfast offerings and discussions of theological content with older and younger parishioners, but also with pilgrimage excursions, throughout our country. The submission of an offering of the parishioners of the Church, relieves our fellow human beings in need, and helps the unhindered operation of the Parish, which has as its first purpose, the sanctification of its members, to the glory of our God in the Trinity, always with the warm embassies of our patron Saint.

The parish of St. John Voulas, organized nowadays with two and at times three priests, with excellent collaborators, chanters, hardworking and honest commissioners, neokoros, philotimo catechists, etc., proceeds spiritually, with the help of the Saint. Moreover, the Holy Baptist offers during the Ecclesiastical year so many opportunities for His Feasts: Conception (September 23rd), Genesis (June 24), Synaxis (January 7), Beheading of His Holy Head (August 29th), First & Second Finding (February 24), and C' (May 25), during which we have the opportunity to honor Him with Divine Liturgies and Vigils.

Holy Church Agios Panteleimon (Saint Panteleimon) - Voula

sights

The Asclepieion Hospital began operating in 1920 under the auspices of the Hellenic Red Cross.
In the Hospital, from the beginning of its Liturgy, priests of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens came and performed the Divine Liturgy in the wards of the institution.
In 1958, a chapel of Agios Megalomartyras and Iamatikos Panteleimonas was built with the donation of Garyfalidis Theodoros, professor of orthopedics.
This small Church did not serve the needs of the institution, as it had many problems as a building.
So it was demolished and in its place, in 1996 a new one was built, under the same name, by the founder Mr. Nikolaos Alexias.
On May 11, 2003, the inauguration of the new Church took place, by the Metropolitan of Glyfada, Mr. Pavlos.

Holy Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary - Varkiza

sights

The Parish of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary of Varkiza was founded in 1963 by decision of the Late Archbishop of Athens Chrysostomos (Chatzistavrou), a time when Varkiza was ecclesiastically subordinated to the Holy Archdiocese of Athens, for the needs of the relatively few then permanent residents of the area.
The Church was erected on the site of an older temporary chapel, which had been built by the fishermen of the area. With the care of the first Vicar Fr. Vassilios Michalopoulos and the expense of the pious family Demetriou Delis (whose holiday home is located opposite the Church) began the works of the construction of the current Church in 1964.
The beautiful Church (Cruciform Basil with a dome) was decorated with the greatest attention with hagiographies by Dim. Ritsos and with works of ecclesiastical art such as the icons of the iconostasis of the great hagiographer Pelekasis, the wood-carved templon, the Pontifical Throne, the Shrine of the Ephesian Holy Icon and the Kouvoukli of the holy Epitaph of Russian style.

Holy Church of Panagia Faneromeni (Virgin Mary revealed)

sights

Vouliagmeni The Church of Panagia Faneromeni (Holy Mother) in Vouliagmeni is not another traditional church.
Every angle and detail is designed with a point of view and inspiration, so that from the most traditional base, the Byzantine style that has been cultivated for over a millennium and a half, details emerge that refer more to an architectural avant-garde.
Nothing in this temple is accidental in its place. From the original design to the smallest object, everything serves a single rationale. The architect designed especially for this church the iconostasis, the despotic, the chairs, the bench, the chandelier, the candelabra.
The color of the church, the glass arches above the entrances, the "hidden" spiritual center in the foundations of the church, all show the visitor that there is a lot of evidence to discover, behind the first level of the obvious.
The history of the church begins almost 30 years ago.
The rhythm of the church is free cruciform with a dome. Its surface reaches 580 square meters.
The church was designed so that the visitor feels joy, tranquility, peace and uplift.
It was designed to attract the faithful as a hug. When someone passes by outside, he feels that it is something familiar, that it is calling him.
The trademark of the new church is of course the glass arch above the bronze doors, an element original and characteristic.
The characteristic color of the church was chosen for the sense of age it gives while making the church more intimate.
