At a short distance from Nopigia, there are the ruins of ancient Mithymnas surrounded by olive groves, and the church of St. Panteleimon, which is built in a cruciform shape with cylindrical dome and rectangular shape on its floor.
West of Nopigia the ruins of a Roman settlement and a church with Byzantine frescoes dedicated to Saint George. The orientation is from north to south, and not according to the Orthodox axis, from east to west, as it was probably built on the ruins of an earlier Roman temple.
