Voidokilia Beach

Voidokilia is undoubtedly the most popular beach in the Prefecture of Messinia. It seems like a colossal aquatic theater and it consists of an almost perfectly round bay of fine sand, which entraps the crystal clear turquoise waters. A big rock, which is crowned with a Venetian castle, offers its shade to the beach. The site and its indescribable natural beauty have been defined as protected by the Convention Natura 2000.
