Although the inhabitation on the peninsula of Methana did not stop in the Byzantine era, only a few relirius monuments from this period have been preserved. The known Byzantine churches are:
- The church of Agios Nikolaos in Vathy (11th c.)
- The ruins of an early-christian basilica near the outcrop of the acropolis of ancient Arsinoe
- The chapel of Panagitsa near Megalochori
- The chapels of Agios Ioannis (13th c., some frescoes preserved in good condition) and Agios Dimitrios, as well as the ruined church of Sotiras between Kounoupitsa and Palion Loutron (Mouska)
