Agios Nikolaos (St Nikolas) Chapel Vouliagmeni

sights

A well "hidden", almost unknown, but also abandoned chapel, is built in 1947 on a rock, on a slope of the neck of Vouliagmeni, almost next to the nautical club.
In one of the most unspoiled spots of Vouliagmeni, on the rocks after the marina in Vouliagmeni, swimmers, hikers and those who pass by boat meet a really strange tiny chapel.
Α large iconostasis of Agios Nikolaos, literally in the rock and with additions of stone, pebbles, marble and other materials, a construction that has created its own legend in the area.
The iconostasis is carved into stone with additions reminiscent of Byzantine church architecture (such as bell tower and enclosure). In the small interior space have been placed a number of images while in a marble slab is inscribed: "Agios Nikolaos. Taker Nick. Foreign painter sculptor 1947".
In four parts of the construction one finds today marble inscriptions, the content of which illuminates somewhat the personality of the artist and the philosophy he wanted to project from his work: "Work is prayer", "Work and love for neighbor is the preaching of Christ", "On the holiday there is constant disappointment" and "Zero profit of hatred and acquisition, everything futility."
