Photographer’s Note

Voidokilia is hidden behind sand dunes, which seem to be protecting its secret of magic beauty.
Shaped like a giant Greek omega this beach of outstanding beauty lies beneath the Old Frankish castle (Paleokastro) and the cave of King Nestor, the ancient King of Pilos, who according to legend, used this cave as a haven for his cattle.
Taking the path up from Voidokilia to the Old castle (Paleokastro) you will enjoy the wonderful panorama that unfolds in front of you: the lagoon of Gialova, the beach of Divari and the olive covered hills across the bay.

From Voidokilia beach you can pass onto the lagoon of Gialova through a natural path to observe the lagoon’s bird life, and the fascinating world of one of Europe’s most important wetlands.
