Spot de Finiki Beach

Finiki Beach

Finiki Beach

Overview

Finiki Beach is a spot on the southwest coast of the Peloponnese in Messenia, south of Pylos. This beach faces west toward the Ionian Sea, receiving the NW Maestro as side-onshore. More southern and wilder position than the Navarino spots to the north.

The lower Messenia coast is magnificent, with isolated beaches, cliffs, and preserved nature. Finiki offers kitesurfing conditions in a spectacular and uncrowded setting.
