Metamorfosi (Greek: Μεταμόρφωση) is a village in Laconia, five kilometers from the center of Molaoi and about seventy-eight kilometers southeast of Sparta. The village is built at the foot of the mountain of Koulochera on the outskirts of the Parnon range. Its altitude is 120 meters. According to the 2021 census, Metamorfosi has 504 residents. Before 1961, the village was known as Katavothra (sinkhole) due to a natural hole in the ground outside the village where rainwater collected.
