Modern Description: At Skália, 4km north of Arginónta, are a number of points of interest: above the village, the church of Aghios Mamás—reached by a stone path and steps up from the tiny plateia—is built on the base of an ancient building; below, at the shore, the whitewashed, cemetery church of Aghios Nikolaos is built into the remains of a large Early Christian basilica of the 6th century, whose well-preserved north wall still towers above the more recent church.
