Beach, Sea and Nature at the Peloponnese

Triple Water
A nice view over three areas of water at the south-western part of the Peloponnese. First you have Voidokilia beach, a very beautiful, sandy beach with crystal clear water. There behind you see the Gialova Lagoon, natural habitat for a lot of birds and there behind you can see the Ormos Navarinou, the natural port area at Pylos. The town of Pylos is visible too, at the upper right part of the picture!.
