Saint Nicholas

At the northeastern edge of the beach of Sykamia, a beautiful seaside path to the beach of Skala and the little church of Saint Nicholas (Agios Nikolaos) begins. Essentially, this path is a continuation of Path 6 (total length 3.7 kilometers, estimated time 70 minutes), which starts just below the village of Pyrgos and ends at this point. From here the trail continues along the coastline, on the rocks; be careful to follow the white painted round marks, and you will find it passable. It continues for another 1,100 meters or so and ends at the small, picturesque beach of Skala, with the little church of Saint Nicholas a little higher up. A short path from the beach leads us to the church, which celebrates with a festival (panigyri) on August 24.
