Costa Navarino in the Messenia region is a prime example of high-end sustainable tourism. The development consists of several luxury resort areas harmoniously integrated into a landscape of ancient olive groves and sand dunes. It is globally recognized for its four award-winning signature golf courses, which are ranked among the best in Europe. Nearby lies the famous Voidokilia Bay, renowned for its almost great semicircular shape. The region is steeped in history: the medieval fortresses of Pylos and Methoni, as well as the Palace of Nestor, one of the most important Mycenaean sites, are just a short drive away. Costa Navarino emphasizes environmental protection, particularly the conservation of the endangered Loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta), which nests on its shores.
