What to expect

Long associated with the sea, there's no better way to admire ancient Pylos than by boat. Take a cruise in the beautiful bay and you'll marvel at the two fortresses dominating the skyline and also see Sphactiria Island. Then, you'll come ashore for free time to shop, explore or delve deeper into the history of this Aegean gem.

Cast off into Navarino Bay and you can catch a few rays on deck as you cruise the coast. The scene of many a famous naval battle, your guide gives you the lowdown on all the history here as you gaze up at the skeletons of the two impressive castles that have long protected the shore.

After sailing by Sphactiria Island, you'll head back to dry land for some free time to explore ancient Pylos. Take a stroll by its age-old amphitheatre, shop in its quaint boutiques or stop for a good Greek coffee in one of the many bars and tavernas before heading back to resort.
