Overview

In the area of Nikiti have been found a sufficient amount of positions where there were settlements during prehistoric years. From then continued its life either in small settlements or either smaller or larger villages.
During the classical years the most significant culture in the area was Galipsos. Galipsos was the evolution of one important settlement. It seems that to its residents were added a lot of Halkidis settlers during the 8th and 7th century b. C. During the medicos wars they had to undergo compulsory recruiting. In the continuation it became a member of the Athenian alliance. In 432 it broke away from the alliance and one part of the population shifted to Olyntho. For its ending we don't know anything, from the archeological findings though results that the town was alive till the roman years.

In the beginning of the 14th century began the creation of Nikitis present settlement. To begin with it was a small settlement of the cultivators of the monastery <Neakitou> which belonged to the monastery of Ksenofontos. With the passing of time the residents grew and by the 15th century it must have already been an independent village.
