THE «ISLAND OF SIKELIANOS» At the entrance of the island, there is a place unique, almost poetic. It is the island of Agios Nikolas which was named after the small chapel built on the ruins of an ancient temple dedicated to Aphrodite. This small strip of land with the shallow waters, the long beach and the sandy coast was the paradise of poet Angelos Sikelianos, who lived here with his wife and their son. 11
