Be near the sea at the Porto
Aghios Nikolaos has many spectacular attractions all right on its doorstep. One such place is the Porto area of the town; an exciting port offering a fun day out for anyone just looking to be close to the sea.
The Porto area is a picturesque, working harbour and the perfect place to while away the time on your Aghios Nikolaos holiday. The whole area is great for a stroll and is a true shopping and culinary paradise. Plus with lots of cruise ships arriving, there's always something exciting going on.
You'll find plenty of shops, outdoor cafés, restaurants and tavernas to suit every taste around the small, circular ”lake'. But of course, no trip to the Porto is complete without a visit to one of the many unique souvenir shops that you can find here. If you have a passion for all things nautical, you'll find fishing boats, pleasure boats and even well-equipped, luxury yachts docked around this vast and buzzing port.
So for anyone who fancies setting sail on their own adventure, a boat trip should definitely be on the cards while you're here.
