This is a wonderful beach, with clean sand, nice waves when there's wind, a light undertoe and a variety of different swimming niches, some perfect for underwater viewing (lots of local fish varieties) and diving and some for just chilling. The taverna and bar, both of which are continually changing their names. provide good food, cappuccino freddo's and beer on tap just when you need them, plus there are some shady spots reaching all the way down to the shore.

A must when you visit Pylos. Breathtaking views, an archaeological museum, two buildings with exhibits belonging to the museum of underwater archaeology, a mosque as well as the castle itself with its fortified walls.

Other reviews cover the sand dunes element. My advice is to plan to go to the top and enjoy a dip in the sea afterwards. It is quite a hike up and the sand is a challenge on the first bit while the steep part after the cave is .. adventurous. Many bathers did it in flip flops (??????) so it is doable with decent running or walking shoes. Just bring a few btls of water and a camera. The views from the castle walls are just simply awesome! And you can wander around the walls of this largish castle to see all vantage points. Don’t forget a towel for bathing in the lovely water afterwards. Enjoy!!!
