The small scenic harbour of Agios Nicolaos (Saint Nikolas) is located in the resort of Pernera and is overlooked by the chapel which lends its name to the harbor. The humble chapel adds a charm and subdued beauty to the harbor area. You can rest and enjoy a coffee while taking in the peace-inducing views of the sea and the harbor and watching the sea vessels come and go on the waters. At sunset the whole scenery takes a more breathtaking view. In an attempt to honor their protector – Saint Nicolaos - everyone involved in marine professions in Paralimni, decided to build a chapel dedicated to him (the saint is considered by all Cypriots to be the protector for the seas). The chapel is found next to the sea overlooking the harbor where fishermen tie their boats. Small in size, whitewashed with a blue painted dome, the chapel of Agios Nicolaos, is reminiscent of some of the chapels found on the Aegean islands.vessels come and go on the waters.
