Old Navarino Fortress (Palaiokastro)

Highlight • Castle

The Old Navarino Fortress, also known as the Palaiokastro, was constructed during the 13th century. It is a medieval fortress that stands as a testament to the historical significance of the region.

Perched on the hillside overlooking the bay, the views are spectacular. Just bear in mind that the castle is in poor condition today, so explore with care.

Ruins of Old Navarino Castle with views over Voidokilia Bay

Highlight • Castle

Approaching from the south path, you can clamber along the west ramparts, navigate to a north-west viewpoint, find a northern descent to the bay and create a round trip to your start point by returning beside the lake. All these tracks are, of course, 'closed' because of danger.

View of Voidokilia Bay and Divari Lagoon

Highlight • Viewpoint

Spectacular view over the bay and Katafigio Agrias Zois Limni Ntivari
lake. It's a tricky, rocky ascent, but the panorama is worth it.

Birdwatchers can spot a variety of species here, including migratory birds like herons and cormorants. The tranquil lake and lush surroundings are an ideal habitat for waterfowl.

Divari Beach

Highlight • Beach

Situated on the Peloponnese Peninsula in Greece, Divari Beach is a pristine stretch of coastline. The nature is truly untouched, with rich birdlife that enjoy the surrounding wetlands.

With the ancient town of Pylos nearby and the historic Sfaktiria Island as a backdrop, Divari Beach combines history and relaxing beach days.

Very nice round, which you could also hike great. From the castle ruins you can also get to Ochsenbauchbucht and the nature reserve, i.e. to the flamingos 😉.
