Agios Nikoalos is a small fishing village with a cozy harbor, 5 km south of Stoupa on the Mani peninsula and about 30 kilometers south of the district capital Kalamata. There are several taverns where you can watch the hustle and bustle. Ag. Nikolaos belongs to the district region of Messinia. Many residents of Ag. Nikolaos fled to Australia in World War II, but many of them returned. Imposing is the mountain backdrop of the Taygetus mountains in the background. Agios Nikolaos was a centre of fighting during the Greek Civil War. The three towers, built as machine gun emplacements scattered around the village; the largest about 20 metres / 66 feet high dominates the 'skyline' on the main road into the village. In Ag. Nikolaos is a small fish market almost every day. South of the harbor, about 1 km, is a beautiful sandy-pebble beach with plenty of shady trees. There is even a beach shower here.
