Monastery
of
St Nicholas
"the Younger"
St
Nicholas 'the Younger', at the spot called Malagari near Perachora, seems
likely to be the oldest Byzantine monument in the area, since it was built
in the tenth or eleventh century. Experts as historic treasures of the
greatest value have quite rightly described its outstanding wall
paintings. In earlier times, the monastery had a full complement of monks,
and even today the beauty of the scenery does much to uplift the spirits
of pilgrims.
