The cavernous two-aisled church of Saint Charalambos and Saint Nicholas is located in the village Skotino , province Pediada , and has unobstructed sea views. Internally, because of being carved, it has an irregular shape and the two aisles are joined together with a large arch.

The north aisle is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and ends in a small carving used as an icon shrine. According to oral tradition, the church served as a secret school during the Ottoman Era.
