Our hike starts from Divari Beach near Gialova. We follow the path around the lagoon where we get the opportunity to witness a unique and sensitive ecosystem. Here, migratory birds such as herons, flamingos, and ospreys live which may have the opportunity to observe. We cross the dunes until we reach the famous omega-shaped beach of Voidokoilia. A refreshing swim into its turquoise waters is an option. On the way to Paleokastro fort we stop to explore the cave of the mythical king Nestor. At the top of the hill, we explore the medieval castle and learn about the intense history of the region. Here, the beauty and uniqueness of the landscape reveals breathtaking vistas hard to believe it’s true. After tasting a healthy picnic, we descend the way back.
