The house has an idyllic village setting, perfectly situated halfway between the towns of Pylos and Methoni. Pylos, a 7min drive away, is a bustling town with local stores. The town has a marina and a large shady square where you can enjoy a drink or meal. You can visit Pylos castle and the archaeological museum. Methoni is just a 5 min drive away, and also boasts a Venetian Castle, tavernas, cafes, shops and a “Blue Flag” beach with safe, shallow waters. A twenty minute drive brings you to Finikounda, a popular but low-key tourist resort, and there are several beautiful beaches on the way. Further afield, you can visit areas of historical interest such as Nestor’s Palace, Ancient Messini and Ancient Olympia. You don’t have to be a birdwatcher to enjoy the natural beauty of Gialova Lagoon, which attracts thousands of birds, including flamingos in autumn! The lagoon is next to Voidokillia beach, judged one of the best in Greece. The city of Kalamata is an hour’s drive from the house.
