2. The story of Costa Navarino is as old as
Greece itself.
It was wise King Nestor of ancient Pylos
who first gave meaning to the word
hospitality when he befriended complete
strangers.
This is a place, where friendship can
always be found, where happiness is
measured by footsteps in the sand.
It’s also the story of a man with a dream.
At Costa Navarino, the story of this land
continues to be told.
3. Costa Navarino, the prime destination in the Mediterranean,
is located in a breathtaking seaside landscape in Southwest
Peloponnese, Greece.
The environmentally responsible philosophy of Costa Navarino is
driven by a genuine desire to promote Messinia while preserving
its natural beauty and heritage.
4. The story began 4,500 years ago.
Before long it had blossomed into a rich
tapestry of kings and queens, honor and
tradition, war and friendship.
It continues with authentic experiences
that you will live to the full as you join in
the olive harvest, learn to make bread the
age-old way and discover the secrets of
village life.
So that you don’t just hear the story,
it becomes part of you.
5. Unspoiled… but easily accessible via
direct international flights from several
European cities to nearby Kalamata
International Airport.
Also, within short driving distance from
Athens and the port of Patras, this land
will welcome you with sunshine and
mild temperatures all year round.
