Voidokilia Beach is a popular beach located on the southwest coast of the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece. It is situated within the Voidokilia Bay, which is a horseshoe-shaped bay with crystal clear turquoise waters and a long stretch of golden sand. The beach is surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and lush vegetation, making it a scenic and tranquil spot.

The beach is accessible by car and is located about 10 km from the town of Pylos. Visitors can park their car and take a short walk to the beach. The water at Voidokilia Beach is shallow, making it ideal for swimming and paddling. The beach is also a popular spot for water sports like windsurfing, kiteboarding, and snorkeling.

In addition to its natural beauty, Voidokilia Beach is also steeped in history and mythology. According to legend, it is the place where the god Hermes first hid the cattle he stole from Apollo. The beach is also located near the ancient city of Pylos, which was an important center of Mycenaean civilization.
