"Nestor’s Cave In Greek mythology, Heracles slew all the sons of the King of Pylos except Nestor, who became king of Pylos himself. Nestorappears as a sage elder in both the Iliad and the Odyssey , expounding on how things were reallytough back in his day. If you visitVoidokilia Beach, about12 kilometers (7.5 miles) from Pylos, you can take a 15-minute walk to see Nestor’s Cave. First,enjoy your time on the beach, which is renowned for its natural beauty. Then climb overthe dunes at the beach's southwest end and followthe hillside path to the cave, which sits just below the ruins of the Paleo Kastro, the old Pyloscastle. As legend has it, this cave is whereHermes hid the 50 cattle he stole from Apollo.The trip is worth it for the views alone: The higher you go, the more you'll see, as the panorama takes inVoidokilia Bay, the Gialova lagoon, the Bay of Navarino, the Peloponnesian hills and the city of Pylos."

Bis zur Höhle ist der Aufstieg nur eine leichte Herausforderung. Die Höhle bietet einen schönen kühlen Schatten. Allerdings leben dort auch Wespen oder ähnliches im Boden, daher muss man vorsichtig sein. Es brummt in der ganzen ganzen Höhle.
