Voidokilia Beach 🇬🇷

#summerdestinations During my summer vacation, I had the pleasure of visiting Voidokilia Beach, and it was nothing short of stunning. Located in the Messinia region of the Peloponnese, this crescent-shaped beach is famous for its crystal-clear waters and unique, almost perfect semicircle shape. The best part? There’s no entrance fee, which made it even more appealing. 🏖️🌊 The beach itself is pristine, with soft golden sand and clear blue water that’s perfect for swimming or just relaxing under the sun. I spent hours just soaking in the views and the tranquil atmosphere. Nearby, the ancient ruins of the Palace of Nestor are worth a visit for a dose of history, and the nearby town of Pylos offers charming local eateries and stunning coastal views. The combination of beautiful natural scenery and historical sites made for a fantastic day out. If you’re ever in the area, Voidokilia Beach is a must-see. #trip #voidokiliabeach #peloponnese #beachparadise #travelgreece #sunandsea

Voidokilia Beach is so captivating that one can't help but linger. This is my second time here. Climbing to the top of the castle on the mountain, one can overlook all the surrounding areas, especially the entire Moon Bay from above.

The coastline of Messinia features several beautiful beaches, including Stoupa, Finikouda, Kalogria, Velika and the omega-shaped Voidokilia, in the Gialova Lagoon, with its diverse fauna and flora. Their natural beauty, low-key vibes and length will certainly entice you to spend the whole day by the water. If you drop by Voidokilia, don’t forget to check out the mythical Nestor’s Cave, where Hermes is said to have hidden the cattle he stole from Apollo. Messinia has its own set of islands, including the small but beautiful Proti, a paradise for history buffs right across Marathopoli. Despite its small size, the island features some archeological sites of ancient temples, the ruins of a citadel, an acropolis from pre-classical and Mycenean times and the monastery of Panagia Gorgopigi. Thanks to its good visibility, it is also home to a dozen dive sites where you can spot turtles, coral, sponges rays and damselfish. Messinia is filled with ancient sites, including the Palace of Nestor and the ancient city of Messene. The Palace of Nestor is one of the most well-preserved Mycenean structures still visible today. Located 14 kilometers (8.5 miles) from Pylos, the palace was built by King Nestor, son of Neleus, and features in both the Iliad and the Odyssey. Comprising several sections and built on two floors, the palace was destroyed by fire in the late 13th century BCE and was never rebuilt, but many of the artifacts were recovered and are now on display at the Archaeological Museum of Chora and at the Archaeological Museum of Messenia, in Kalamata. Ancient Messene is another fascinating site, with some temples, residential houses and public buildings still standing. #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
