Voidokilia Beach

Voidokilia beach is one of the most well-known and beautiful beaches of Greece. Located in the western side of the Peloponnese, close to Pylos, the beach that resemples with the Greek letter omega (Ω) or an Ancient Greek Theatre, takes its name from its shape that looks like the belly of an ox (βόδι=ox, κοιλιά=belly).

Magnificent crystal clear water and white sandy beach in a unique scenery, protected by the Natura 2000 program, make Voidokilia beach one of the best Peloponnese beaches and the ideal spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of the nature.

Just above the beach and the sandy dunes, is the Castle of the Ancient Pylos, the Nestor’s Cave and the tomb of Thrasymedes, Nestor’s son. This is considered to be the area where King Nestor welcomed and hosted Telemachus, during his trip to Pylos in Homer’s Odyssey.
