VOIDOKILIA is one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. The sheltered bay is referred to in Homer's Odyssey and archaeologists believe it was used by King Nestor as a port in ancient times.
The name Voidokilia means "cow's belly", from the two rocky promontories that define the entrance of it. The beach lies beneath the Old Frankish castle (Paliokastro) and the cave of King Nestor, the ancient King of Pylos, who according to legend, used this cave as a haven for his cattle.
The lagoon is caused by currents in Navarino Bay transporting sediment along the coast and forming a sand spit from Gialova to the Palaiokastro island, cutting off part of the bay to form the Osmanaga lagoon. It was probably at this time that sand transported into Voidikilia Bay, was laid down and began to form the magnificent beach and sand dunes.
