We’re still here! We packed several Covid self tests and we’ve both tested negative each time. Fingers crossed for the test we take before our flight home!🤞
We are very happy with our hotel choice in Pylos -Karalis Beach Hotel. It sits right on the water and from our balcony, have a view of Pylos, the clear waters, and the rocky shore below.

Today we drove to Voidokilia Beach – in the shape of the Greek letter Omega, it forms a semicircle of dunes.

From the sandy beach, we followed a rocky path uphill to an archeological site of an Mycenaean tomb.

The seaside village of Gialova is nearby. There are upscale shops and restaurants right on the beach – after our trek, we stopped for a lunch of Calamari and Greek Salad. Gialova is very popular in the summer – it’s still early in the season now and not very busy.

We’re not eager to leave Pylos but tomorrow we’ll drive 3.5 hours to return the rental car to the Athens Airport. From there, we’ll take public transportation into the city for a four night stay.
We will miss these glorious sunsets. It’s beautiful here!
