The small church of "Agios Nicolaos" (St. Nicholas) is found at the village's entrance in the west, close to the old Kalliana-Galata road, and dates back to the 15 th century. It is a single-aisle, rectangular one with internal dimensions of 7 X 3,63 metres.

The church is built with crude, unrefined stones and mud. The church's walls are 0,58 -- 0,60 meters thick and 2,34 -- 2,36 meters tall. The floor is covered with bricks.

A piece of a fresco with three half-destroyed figures of monks is extant at the north wall, west of the north entrance. The two still have their name visible, St. Andronicos and St. Vehianos. According to Athanasios Papageorgiou, they can be dated back to the first half of the 16 th century. It seem that the entire north wall must have been covered with hagiographies.

A liturgy is conducted on the 6 th of December, the day that the memory of the Saint is celebrated.
