Old Nikiti is built on a hill. It grew around the church of Saint Nikitas, which was built in the late 19th century next to the old church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary (14th century). The old village charms visitors with its beautiful Macedonian architectural style: houses built with stone that retains its original color.
