Nestled in the southwestern corner of Greece, the beautiful region of Messinia boasts some of the most stunning beaches in the country. From secluded coves with crystal-clear waters to wide stretches of golden sand lined with lively beach bars and restaurants, the coastline of Messinia offers a diverse range of options for all types of travelers.

Voidokilia beach is a true gem among the beaches of Greece, widely recognized as one of the most picturesque in the country. This stunning almost-round bay features thin white sand and crystal-clear blue-green waters, making it a photographer’s dream. Visitors can easily spend an entire day here, soaking up the sun and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. The beach is surrounded by archeological sites and natural parks, and as a result, no constructions or beach bars are allowed. However, there is ample parking available for visitors who flock to this famous spot. Even with its popularity, the beach is so expansive that those who venture to its far end will find solitude. To the left of the beach, you’ll see the Old Castle of Navarone perched on a hill, while the right hill boasts a Mycenean tomb and a hidden mini-beach with hot springs waiting to be discovered.
