Agios Nikolaos is situated upon the high mountainside of Mountain
Farmakas.
The village’s characteristics are the same as Alea
and Exochi. They have exactly
the same climate, with harsh winters and cool summers.
The most impressive spot of Agios Nikolaos are the ruins of the houses
that the Germans had destroyed during the Second World War. They still stand proud
and firm, as if they expect to be reconstructed.
It is a pleasant small village with white houses among gigantic oaks
and cedar trees.
