Voidokilia Beach

Voidokoilia is a beach in Messinia that is considered one of the most beautiful in the Mediterranean. It is famous mainly for its all-round shape reminiscent of the letter O. It is located north of Pylos, on the coast of the Ionian, and is adjacent to the lagoon of Gialova from which it is separated by a strip of sand dunes. The beach and the wider area has been designated a place of special natural beauty and is part of the Natura 2000 Network. At the southern end of Voidokoilia, the Korifassios promontory is developed, where the ruins of the classical city of Pylos were located. The beach is accessed by a dirt road that crosses the perimeter of the Gialova lagoon, by a dirt road from the village of Petrochori and by a path from Divari beach. As for the food, a word of caution is needed here. Precisely because Voidokilia beach is a Natura 2000 protected area, there is absolutely no structure to anything, so as to preserve as much of its natural beauty as possible. Therefore, you will come prepared with food, water, sunscreen, towels, mats and umbrellas and anything else you need. Clearly, you will need to remember to leave the space clean and tidy.

Beach of Gialova

Gialova is a very beautiful beach a few kilometers away from Pylos. In addition to its beautiful waters, in Gialova you can both enjoy its beach bars and indulge in water sports. Anyone who wishes, however, can enjoy the beauties of the beach freely as he has plenty of space to spread out his mat on its powdery sand.

Divari Beach

Very close to Gialova you will find a 4 km long coast which is also protected by the Natura 2000 protection zone as it is where our beloved caretta-caretta turtles lay their eggs. It has a beautiful sandy beach and wonderful, shallow, blue-green waters, which makes it an ideal choice for families with children. Most of it is a free beach, however for those who wish towards the end, there is an organized part with a beach bar, sunbeds and umbrellas!

Sfaktiria Beach

The beach of Sfaktiria is located on the islet of Sfaktiria which can only be reached by boat from Pylos. Although you will need to get everything in advance, it is really worth diving into its wonderful waters. It has shallow, crystal clear waters and wonderful fine sand. The landscape is lush and mesmerizing and literally the greenery makes the whole view tropical!
