The Metropolis of Neapolis and Stavroupolis is among the dioceses of the New Lands of Greece under the jurisdiction of the Ecumenical Patriarchate, ruled by His Eminence Barnabas (Tyris), de facto under the administration of the Church of Greece. The diocese was founded in 1974 and unites several districts in western Thessaloniki. It includes 53 parishes, 20 parish refectories, and other institutions.
