Only ruins have remained from the funerary church of Nikiti,
in the village of Nikiti (standing at the entrance of
the peninsula of Sithonia). It was built during the 16th
century and has fine frescoes dating from the late 16th
and early 17th century.

Church of Agios Nikitas |

Located in the middle of the village of Nikiti, the church
of Agios Nikitas is one of the most important old buildings
remaining in the village and was built in 1867.
| The
Church of Agios Giorgios |

Three kilometres south of Nikiti stands the little church
of Agios Giorgios (Saint George) which was built on the
site where stood the 5th century three-aisled early-Christian
basilica of St. George, destroyed in the 6th century.

| The
Chapel of the Apostle Paul |
|
About 20 kilometres south of Nikiti is the chapel of the
Apostle Paul, built during the late 19th century, on the
site of an older church.
It is worth-seeing for its beautiful well-preserved interior
fountain dated from 1713.

to
Porto Koufo, among two other early-Christian churches.
It is a three-aisled church with beautiful marble decorations
and has, in its central nave, a mosaic floor.
| The
Church of Agios Athanasios |
|
This church, also dedicated to Agios (Saint) Athanasios,
is located in the large village of Sykia. It was built
in 1819, burnt down in 1821 and in 1854, and was rebuilt
as we see it today, in 1861.
The church is very interesting for its unique wood-carved
icon-stands dating from 1703, its beautiful wooden roof
and fine stone relief on its exterior walls.
