The Monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour, near Dasochori, Deskati, was built before 1797, and had flourished until the beginning of the 20th century, with a large monastic community who also contributed in many ways to the local community. It also housed the “kryfo scholio”- a secret school for teaching the Greek language and Christian doctrine, when the Greeks lived under the Ottoman rule.
