sports

Gentle waves paired with lots of Beaufort make this area a real surf Mecca. But divers also get their money's worth here: an average of 30 meters of visibility and a water temperature of around 24 degrees make this place the perfect diving hotspot. In 2017, Costa Navarino was also named “European Golf Resort of the Year” by the Association for Global Golf Tourism (IAGTO). Here you can expect a first-class golf experience with four world-class golf courses. These include two designer golf courses: the 18-hole Dunes Course golf course in the midst of the diverse natural landscape offers spectacular sea and river views. The Bay Course golf course offers panoramic sea and mountain views, with two holes to be played along historic Navarino Bay. This can be reached in just a few minutes by car.

leisure

Countless small but fine restaurants and cafes await you along the promenade of Gialova, which serve freshly caught fish, Greek grilled classics and cool drinks - right on the beach with your feet in the sand! The miles of sandy beaches, the untouched nature and countless wonderful bays make this place perfect for a wide variety of leisure activities and sightseeing tours. An extensive shopping experience is also available here: the beautiful port city of Pylos is only 10 minutes away by car. In Costa Navarino you will also find four 5-star hotels with their gourmet restaurants and the Anazoa Spa - a 4000 square meter spa & thalassotherapy center.

history

At the end of Golden Beach (just below Olive Garden) perched on a rock 200 meters above the sea is Palaikastro - the ruin of a 13th-century fortress. Nestor's Palace awaits you if you drive about 20 minutes. Old Messene is about an hour's drive away and was once considered the most beautiful town in the south-west of the Peloponnese. About two hours drive away you will find the Ancient Olympia and Sparta Archaeological Museum.
