Nichoria (Greek: Νιχώρια) is a site in Messenia, on a ridgetop near modern , at the northwestern corner of the Messenian Gulf. From the Middle to Late Bronze Age it cultivated olive and terebinth for export. During the Helladic period it was part of the Mycenaean civilisation. Nichoria reached its greatest extent (5 hectares) in LHIIIA:2, and even sported a royal Pylos-style megaron; although it was always smaller. Nichoria became subordinate to Pylos and lost the use of its megaron. Nichoria was destroyed in the same event which claimed the main palace at Pylos.
