Agios Nikolaos Island – Iconic Rock Islet of Parga

Agios Nikolaos Island is the small, iconic rock islet located just off the coast of Parga, Epirus. Easily visible from the town and Valtos Beach, the islet is home to a picturesque white chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors. According to tradition, the chapel was built at the end of the 19th century by a shipwrecked sailor as a tribute of gratitude. Today, the island is a popular spot for weddings, baptisms, and boat excursions, offering stunning views of the Parga coastline. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, Agios Nikolaos is one of the most photographed landmarks of Parga and a must-see attraction for visitors exploring the Ionian coast.
