Day Trip to Pylos and Voidolikia from Kalamata
1 day
Full Day
About this activity
Following a pickup from your Kalamata hotel or the cruise port, take a seat in your comfortable vehicle and relax on route through the olive and orange groves to Pylos. Along the way, listen as your private guide shares a few of the myths and traditions surrounding this beautiful corner of coastal Greece.
Explore the picturesque town of Pylos as your private guide sheds light on the violent battles that raged here during the time of the Spartans. Admire sweeping views over Sfaktiria Island and Navarino Bay — where historic fortresses hide on the forested hillsides. Visit Niokastro Castle — a powerful fortress constructed by the Turks in 1573 AD — and stroll along the cobblestone streets for fine views over the towers and aqueduct.
Afterward, head onward to the beach at Voidokilia — widely considered the prettiest in the region. Enjoy free time to swim in the sea or soak up the rays on the golden sand. Perhaps stop for lunch in the nearby village of Yalova (own expense). Then, return in comfort to your starting point in Kalamata.
