“Fancy a trip to Voidokilia Beach?”
“Nahh mate, doesn’t look all that.”

You’d have to be sniffing Pritt Stick to drive past this bit of coast.

Shaped like the Greek omega letter (Ω), Voidokilia has a lot going for it. As well as looking like THAT, it's got a 13th century castle and a cave that turned up in Homer’s Odyssey.

You can hike up to both of them from the beach - ignore the ‘closed’ signs, you’re fine.

Behind the beach is Gialova nature reserve, with 258 species of bird including FLAMINGOS.

Still not sold? The word on the street is that Voidokilia is naturist friendly 👀

Voidokilia Beach is an hour and 15 drive from Kalamata.
