It's of Voidokilia Beach and it's surroundings. Voidokilia Beach is on the Peloponnese peninsula and it was the most picturesque beach that I visited during that Greek trip, which was almost exclusively in Messinia. On that mountain is Nestor's Cave and above this are the ruins of a 13th-century Frankish castle (Old Navarino or Palaiokastro). Look closely and you will see :). I didn't get to walk up there. It was brutally hot that day and I spent most of the time at the beach. But, I did make time for some hiking. Near where I took this photo there was a lot of medieval or ancient ruins. Near those beautiful rocks. I had to be careful when walking on them, but it was worth it! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6324557/11a62969-a1d3-4205-bb01-2fda8435eeb1.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Voidokilia Beach 31 min drive \- 13.6 miles - Lagouvardo Beach 3 min walk \- 0.2 miles - Costa Navarino Dunes Golf Course 22 min drive \- 10.1 miles - Kalo Nero Beach 43 min drive \- 20.8 miles - Pylos Castle 45 min drive \- 19.9 miles ### Getting around - Kalamata (KLX-Kalamata Intl.) 68 min drive ### Restaurants - Μαντείο Καφέ - Παιδότοπος 9 min drive - KOABEACH Seaside entertainment lounge 14 min drive - Riki 4 min drive - miggas 3 min drive - CUORE crepes and waffles 9 min drive ## About this property ### Edem Suites Upscale guest house Consider a stay at Edem Suites and take advantage of a rooftop terrace, a garden and dry cleaning/laundry services.
