Small chapel located on a low penninsula about 100 meters into the sea. The chapel was built, dedicated to Saint Nicholas patron saint of sailors, to protect village fishermen and to provide a place for families to pray for their safe return.
Because of its location, Agios Nikolaos Church appears to be emerging from the Aegean Sea. The chapel is dedicated to St. Nicholas (Ἅγιος Νικόλαος), the patron of sailors. Yes, this is the same saint who inspired the legend of Santa Claus.
