Luxury Costa Navarino Holidays

Costa Navarino is one of Greece's newest resort areas, it's a luxurious eco- friendly development combining fine hotels and superb facilities in the idyllic setting of rural Messinia, with its coastal forests, hills, mountains and pretty, little traditional villages. Originally the resort was the vision of shipping magnate Vassilis Constantakopoulos; the family are now realising the father's vision. Smart design-led boutique and resort hotels, heavy on the finest workmanship, nestle next door to signature golf courses and an abundance of stunningly beautiful sandy beaches. There is a sports centre of Olympian standard, perhaps only fitting as we are in Greece, plazas, restaurants, golf courses, many swimming pools and a wealth of things to do. The beaches have remained untouched, but roads and rivers have been diverted, reservoirs created and lawns fashioned among new olive groves and old ruins. Trees have been lifted and replanted; shrubs have been heeled in and roof gardens created. Beyond the resort is the Mani peninsula, easily navigated by hire car, with no fewer than 10 major historical sites within a few miles as well as nature reserves, bird sanctuaries and wild and lonely beaches to discover and explore.
