The church was bought as exchangeable estate by the Parish of St. Dimitrios by the Port, for use as a church. The Ministry of Culture then decided that services should only be held there on feast days, and that it should remain a visitors' monument. Over recent decades the main church and adjoining buildings have undergone restoration, while the surrounding area is being landscaped as an archaeological site linked to the Venetian monastery.
