Clifftop viewpoint across from Voidokilia Beach 🏖️

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great steep climb to the church-sized cave (Nestor’s Cave). There is then the option of climbing up to the (unsecured) castle via a steep climb. Great view!

Castle Ruins with View of Voidokilia Bay

Highlight • Castle

The narrow, rocky path, partly secured with ropes, is worth it for the beautiful views of the bay.

View of Voidokilia Bay and Divari Lagoon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Spectacular view over the bay and Katafigio Agrias Zois Limni Ntivari
lake. It's a tricky, rocky ascent, but the panorama is worth it.

Birdwatchers can spot a variety of species here, including migratory birds like herons and cormorants. The tranquil lake and lush surroundings are an ideal habitat for waterfowl.

Beautiful hike. From the beautiful sandy beach it goes quite steeply uphill to Nestor's Cave. This is a large cave, clearly visible from afar due to the striking triangular entrance, in which Hermes had hidden the stolen oxen of Helios. Given the enormous dimensions, this is easy to imagine. We continue along a steep path, partly secured with a wire …

Today we went on a short hike along the sandy beach at Ox-belly Bay, which is so named because it looks like the Greek letter Omega. We then continued up to the castle ruins through the sandy dune landscape until the narrow path became rockier and narrower. In some places there were ropes. Sure-footedness was required.
