The small fishing village of Agios Nikolaos is located 2 km below Riglia on the Mani Peninsula, approximately 50 kilometers south of the district capital, Kalamata. The charming harbor is particularly appealing, serving as a gathering place for both locals and visitors. A small fish market is held almost daily here.
