Nikaia is a suburb in the western part of the Athens-Piraeus agglomeration. Nikaia owes its population eruption to Greek refugees who left the Asia Minor coast after the 1922 war ended. It was part of the municipality of Piraeus until 1933, when it became a separate municipality, then under the name Nea Kokkinia (Νέα Κοκκινιά). It was renamed to Nikaia in 1940.

The flag of Nikaia (Kokkonis website; photo, photo) was white with a red borderand the municipality's emblem and name.
The emblem features the Monument to the Fallen by George Zongolopoulos (photo), which refers to the mass execution committed by the Nazis on 17 August 1944.
