A quiet beach in Messinia that offers Greek charter guests a secluded and peaceful beach day.
Characterized by its semicircular strip of dunes, Voidokilia Bay resembles an ancient Greek amphitheater. With its lush vegetation, soft white sand, and inviting crystal-clear waters, the bay’s natural beauty is undoubtedly the spectacle that visitors can marvel at. It is also home to many rare birds, making the beach a part of the Natura 2000 protected area, so it is perfect for the bird watching aficionados in your charter party.
After spending the morning tanning under the warm Mediterranean sun, cool off in the turquoise waters of the Ionian Sea with some snorkels so you can appreciate the local sea life. Since Voidokilia is a protected area, remember to bring everything you need for swimming as there are no facilities on the beach.
Once cooled off, hike over the dunes to the ancient ruins that sit above the beach: Voidokilia is home to the Castle of the Ancient Pylos, King Nestor’s Cave, and the tomb of Nestor’s son, Thrasymedes. These ruins are actually considered to be the area where King Nestor welcomed and hosted Telemachus during his trip to Pylos in Homer’s Odyssey. From its natural landscape, to these historic remains, Voidokilia promises to envelope you in stunning, panoramic views from the minute you arrive.
