Although there are almost no signs remaining from the commercial past of this settlement, tourists usually appreciate this small centre. Nimborios has a few nice houses with the typical and picturesque red-tiled roof, and a tavern that opens in high season, which counts on sun-beds, and regular water taxis. Unfortunately, there are no shops in the area, but it counts on summer apartments where to spend some time.
The fact of being quiet attracts those seeking peace; and its picturesque feature, due to its greenery and available views aids to this. The area of Nimborios counts on interesting sites as well, such as the catacombs and Roman mosaics. In fact, the Archaeological museum counts on some of the most important Byzantine and post-Byzantine monuments, in many cases belonging to the second half of the 6th century, along with Byzantine registers and early Christian capitals and pictures, which were taken from Nimborios.
Another interesting site related to this settlement is the monastery of Kyra, as it can be found on the way from Nimborios to Nikia, a picturesque village which main square has been awarded because of its elliptic shape. The monastery counts on a great view along the east part of the island, since it has an altitude of 450 metres.
The village of Nimborios is ideal for spending a relaxing day, and visiting its interesting sites. It has the necessary facilities for having a good time on its beach, and provides green scenery to enjoy. The main road leading to this settlement can be accessed either by car or on foot, is in good condition and that makes the visit to Nimborios even worthier.
