Saint Nicholas Church

The Holy Church of Saint Nicholas in Galaxidi is one of the most pivotal points of the town, built on top of the hill between the two harbors. Its architecture, history, and the view it offers make it a remarkable destination. Completed in 1902 on the foundations of older churches that existed on the site, it consists of a three-aisled basilica with a dome and two bell towers and expresses the Byzantine tradition. It stands out for its impressive, elaborately carved wooden iconostasis, a significant attraction for lovers of ecclesiastical art. It is located at the highest point of the town, making it visible from long distances and offering a magnificent view of the sea and the harbor, and is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors – perfectly connected with the maritime history of the Galaxidi tradition.
