Navarino Bay, near Pylos, is a pristine natural harbor where the island of Sphacteria serves as a protective barrier against the open Ionian Sea. This area, part of the Natura 2000 environmental program, is the largest wetland in southern Greece, offering refuge to both endemic and migratory birds. Beyond its ecological importance, the area captivates visitors with its unparalleled beauty, drawing nature lovers from around the globe.

Our hike begins at Divari Beach, near Gialova. From here, we embark on a scenic path around the lagoon, home to diverse species of migratory birds, including herons, flamingos, and ospreys, which you may be fortunate enough to spot. Continuing through the dunes, we reach the iconic Omega-shaped Voidokilia Beach, where a refreshing swim in its turquoise waters awaits. On our way to Paleokastro Fort, we take a detour to explore the Cave of the legendary King Nestor. At the summit, we visit the medieval castle, soaking in the rich history of the region. The breathtaking vistas from this vantage point are truly remarkable, showcasing the unspoiled landscape in all its glory. After a wholesome picnic, we return along the same path, concluding our unforgettable journey.
