To cool down from walking through Olympia and museums, swim in the waters of Voidokilias Beach. Certainly the most extraordinary beach in all of Greece.

The lagoon’s beautiful water, the beach’s unique shape, and the surrounding mountains and rocks are all features that can’t be found anywhere else on the globe. The entire area is accessible by car, and parking is available on a dirt lot just 100 meters from the shore.

Each dune is 750 meters in length and up to 20 meters in width. The incline can be rather sharp in a few spots. Because of the general shallowness of the harbor, the starting location for a swim is only about 50 meters away.

Without hotels, restaurants, or other tourist trappings, this beach is ideal for anyone in search of a serene beach vacation. But it may be very crowded in the midst of the day, so don’t be surprised to see all these people here; just enjoy the place and scenery.
