Velika

Peace… continues, in a vast, almost untouched sand, which you reach as you leave behind Velika village and cross the road that passes by the reeds, in a place that reminds of Far West. Velika is only organized in a small part.

The rest, vast region has natural shade from pines and tamarisk trees, and the only soundtrack is the song of the crickets that nestle on them- usually, on weekdays, that is the only noise you hear.

The waters of the river that flows here blur the sea a bit, without this meaning that the waters are less clear- they are just less transparent in comparison to its neighboring beaches.

Beaches of Messinia

With its eye-catching coastline, the prefecture of Messinia offers a variety of things to explore to travelers who crave beach hopping, which means going from one beach to another.

The beaches in the city centre that are worth mentioning are few, but the one in Kalamata at the foot of Taygetus is one of them. A dip in the blue flag awarded waters is a good first acquaintance with the Messinian Gulf.

In the southeast of the prefecture, in Exo Mani, Ritsa  is the beautiful and quiet beach of Kardamyli with pebbles and deep blue waters.
