Saint Nicholas is the most beautiful church of the Piraeus port. It stands out with its blue dome near the cruise ships terminal and it's certainly worth visiting.

The amazing church is opposite to the Bank of Greece. While you are on the staircase of the church, you will find mighty Byzantine pillars that confronts the particular Corinthian and Doric ones in the façade of the bank .. This entourage embraces the history of Greece. Located very close from the port of Piraeus, the Metropolis holy church of Agia Triada survived the bombardment of 11 January 1944. It is beautifully constructed on the luxurious Byzantine fashion and it has very special icons of the saints (Katarina and Dimitris are my favourite), chandeliers and ceiling paintings. I highly recommend.

Against the deepest of azure skies, its light hued façade looked wonderful. Double bell towers frame the very attractive profile of ornate windows and triple arched marble entrance. Ascending the steps and entering we were struck by the marvellously embellished features. Bright frescoes adorn the space throughout. A fine iconostasis with its panoply of saints is impressive. A gorgeous dome radiant in colour and holy images is suffused with light through the lunettes.
