Greece - Peloponnesus, Agios Nikolaos

We did read about the stunning frescoes in the Byzantine Church of Agios Nikolaos -
4 km from Liotrivi - and wanted to visit them. First of all it was quite a job to find this small village, because it was not very well signposted.

After arriving in the picturesque village with just of couple old stone houses, we couldn’t miss the church with its beautiful architecture on the central square. Unfortunately the door of the church turned out to be closed. Although a couple of villagers tried to help, the door remained closed and we missed the frescoes.

Nice shot! Many churches in Greece are dedicated to Saint Nikolaos. Up to now I just knew Agios Nikolaos on Crete where my wife an I spent a nice but rather noisy holiday. Dogs in the neighbourhood were barking nearly all the night.

You had a lot of bad luck, because there are so many beautiful and quiet places in Greece.

trouver une église fermée, cela existe aussi en France ! aujourd'hui beaucoup de petites églises sont fermées par crainte des vols d'objets religieux, et de vandalisme anti chrétien.

Shame the church was closed.............but at least you got these cracking images of the outside.

The church itself look really charming. I especially like the stonework with all the decorative bits around the windows and I also like the ornate fence.

The Byzantine churches have an absolute charm. It is a pity not to have been able to visit its frescoes, which we hope have been preserved in a correct state.
