Nature and culture around Voidokilia beach.
During this 11 km walk we take you along the highlights of the Navarino bay.

The highlights of the Navarino bay.
We start at the old pump house of the Gialova – Divari lagoon and walk the first 4 km around the lagoon. A paradise for nature and bird watchers. Here you will find many different and rare animal and bird species, they forage here for food, hibernate or breed here.
In winter you can see large groups of pink flamingos.
We take a break at the Church of Profitis Ilias, where we enjoy a beautiful view.
After this we walk down to the hidden beach Paralia Glossa and the Tomb of Thrasimede.
We walk around the famous Voidokilia beach, rated by the New York Times as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world. To really see the beach you have to see it from above. That is why we walk via the north side to Paleo Castle, the old fortress of Pylos, built by the Venetians in the 13th century, where the Mycenaeans had their city of Pylos in ancient times. We pass Nestor’s cave, where, according to Greek Mythology, Hermes is said to have hidden a herd of animals he stole from Apollo. In these caves objects from the year 7000 BC have been found.
Then it is a bit of a climb to get to Paleocastle, but it is worth it, because the view is breathtaking.
After this we walk down the south side and there is the possibility to end this walk with a refreshing dip at the Golden beach.
