Loaded with more treasures than a jewellery box, holidays to Costa Navarino combine five-star hotels with unspoilt beaches.
Luxurious lounging
Set on the south-west coast of Greece's mainland Peloponnese region, Costa Navarino's got a growing reputation as one of the Mediterranean's premier luxury destinations. This is your one-stop shop for pampering and relaxation, where you can hop from soothing spa treatments to a dip in the brilliant blue sea.
Diving and driving
Despite the luxe resorts, Costa Navarino's still fairly off the radar and there's a relaxed feel to the coastline's beaches. For underwater enthusiasts, the Messinian Sea promises snorkelling and scuba thrills – there's even a sunken village to explore. Golfers, meanwhile, can tee off at one of two nearby courses.
Fine dining
Costa Navarino's a gastronomic heaven, boasting a cluster of five-star restaurants – be sure to sample their regional specialities and freshly caught seafood. For a tantalising foodie pilgrimage, take the hour's drive over to Kalamata, home to a popular farmers' market and world-famous olives.
