The beach of Pouria on the island of Skyros in Greece - The Agios Nikolaos cave church |
Pouria is a part of the beach of Molos. It is the most northerly. It is not really a beach but a mixture of rocks and coarse sand. Here you will find special rocks and the Agios Nikolaos cave church. The church of Agios Nikolaos is a picturesque and unique church which is built into a rock on the cape near the sea in Akra Pouria, not far north of the beach of Molos in the northeast of the island of Skyros, and just north of the capital of the island, Skyros Chora. It faces the small Vrakhonisidhes Vrikolakonisia islets that lie off the coast. On one of these islets you can see another photogenic church, the Agios Ermolaos chapel. Nearby is also a special rock in the shape of a mushroom and there is an old windmill. The rock in which the Agios Nikolaos church was built is made of limestone and was in ancient times a quarry for the reddish stone that it consists of. This is clearly visible at the back of the church / rock. There you can see where blocks of stone have been cut out of it. The Agios Nikolas church itself is very small and only a few people fit in. |
