Palaiokastro
Spread the word
On the south side of the beach of Voidokilia is settled this medieval castle that was built by the Franks in the 13th century with stones from the ancient settlement of Pylos and the temple of Athena Koryfasias.
From the ruins of the castle ,which till nowdays are saved, the view in every direction is amazing.
In front stretches the Ionian Sea and behind it the large lagoon of Gialova. In the north you may stare at the whole beach of Voidokilia and in the the south one can view Navarino Bay and Pylos.
The path from Voidokilia is rough but shorter than the path to Divari (on the south side of the castle) which is more smooth. However, as you arrive, the view will for sure compensate you.
