Nikolaos, Hagios, Porto-Germeno
Area: Aigosthena (Porto-Germeno)
Type: Basilica
Date: late-byzantine phase
Description:
The church of Hagios Nikolaos lies in Aigosthena beach (Porto-Germeno). Nowadays, it has suffered many damages. As a consequence, its Byzantine character is not easily visible. It is a domed basilica with a barrelvaulted narthex and a late Byzantine phase. The group of monuments in the area (early Christian basilica, middle Byzantine church of the Virgin Mary) in combination with the ancient fortification preserved in excellent condition and the bath ruins on the beach signify the importance of the area during the ancient years.
