# Messenia Region

## Peloponnese Region

![I took this photo in Messinia, Greece in summer 2016. It's of Voidokilia Beach and it's surroundings. Voidokilia Beach is on the Peloponnese peninsula and it was the most picturesque beach that I visited during that Greek trip, which was almost exclusively in Messinia. On that mountain is Nestor's Cave and above this are the ruins of a 13th-century Frankish castle (Old Navarino or Palaiokastro). Look closely and you will see :). I didn't get to walk up there. It was brutally hot that day and I spent most of the time at the beach. But, I did make time for some hiking. Near where I took this photo there was a lot of medieval or ancient ruins. Near those beautiful rocks. I had to be careful when walking on them, but it was worth it! ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6324557/11a62969-a1d3-4205-bb01-2fda8435eeb1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![Hit the road to Koroni in Messinia, Greece. Almost near the town road get just near the beach with orange sand and blue crystal water. Perfect period to visit - end of May. Fresh but not cold water and super quiet!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6125108/1e5d93c1-46c5-48ce-9d7b-c31be8808efd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![I took this photo from the seaside village of Paralia Vergas, near Kalamata, Greece. Beautiful golden memories of last Summer! Paralia Vergas is just a few KM from Kalamata and is one of the best spots in the area to relax and gaze at the sea and mountains. Especially at sunset! And here in this scene I love how peaceful and calm it is. And the boat makes it idyllic!](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6052234/4b7a853d-7545-47cd-a629-0eb7288c2d4c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![A dry river bed leads the way to the old (and now abandoned) town of Kardamili.  #LocalSecrets](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182097/452b7f1d-f376-4eb9-acc6-cb1bb85208a2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![The iconostasis in the Greek Orthodox cathedral of Kalamata.
The iconostasis or icon wall separates the altar space from the nave. It is the symbol of the separation between the divine and the human world.
