Vaulted Buildings (Tholi)

The little church of Saint Nicholas (Agios Nikolaos) is located in the area of the ruined buildings known as the Vaults (Tholi), above Vathy Pigadi Beach in the eastern part of the island. We can get there by taking the road that continues southeast from the church of the Transfiguration of the Savior (about 1700 meters from the church, and 600 meters from Poros Beach). After the beach, we continue on a dirt road, where we will need to open and close two gates (which confine goats) before reaching our destination. After the second gate, the road divides, with the relatively bad dirt road on the right going on 200 meters to Vathy Pigadi Beach, and the branch on the left continuing 200 meters to the little church of Saint Nicholas and the Vaults (Tholi). The Vaults are located 50 meters east of the church. These Byzantine-era vaulted stone buildings were probably used for food storage. The buildings are fenced in, but you can still approach to see them up close.
