Agia Triada Church and Venizelou Square, Agios Nikolaos

Highlight • Religious Site

Venizelou Square (Venetian Square) and the Church of the Holy Trinity form the center of Agios Nikolaos.
The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity (Agia Triada) is a Byzantine, three-aisled cruciform basilica with a dome. Its central nave is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the north aisle to the Three Hierarchs, and the south aisle to the Annunciation.

From Venizelou Square, through the old town, one axis of which is reserved for pedestrians, you reach the picturesque Lake Voulismeni, which has been connected to the sea by a narrow canal since the 19th century, and the romantic harbor. On Epiphany in early January, a procession with a band moves from the church to the harbor, where young people dive for the Holy Cross.

View of Lake Voulismeni in Agios Nikolaos

Highlight • Viewpoint

In Agios Nikolaos there is also a 'lake'. A romantic, and especially in the evening, idyllic place to enjoy. Around the lake you will find many nice restaurants.

Lake Voulismeni

Highlight • Lake

The lake can easily be reached on foot or by bike.
The eastern side is very touristy with many restaurants.
Up from the cliff you have a nice view over the lake and the town.
When large cruise ships are in port, they tower over the houses.
You can walk around the lake, partly over stairs.

Numerous stories and legends surround the lake. It was the seaside resort of the Greek goddess Athena, is said to be connected underground with Santurin, departing German troops are said to have sunk their weapons in it, a truck should have driven into it and its depth is between 64 meters and infinity. Jacques-Yves Cousteau is said to have found no evidence for anything during a dive in the lake.

The fact is that it is a freshwater lake that was connected to the sea in 1870.
