Overview
Get on board ao a fully air-conditioned coach and start your journey. The first time that you confront the Bay of Navarino, combined with the Castle of Pylos and its green colors, will be one of the moment of the tour that you will never forget. In Pylos, where is your first stop, you will admire the amaizing islands color with its picturesque port and the rocky islets in the bay of Navarino. The huge rocks in front of us look like an entrance to the sea and are nothing but parts of the Island of Sfaktiria.
After this short photo stop, you continue along the south-west coast of Peloponnese heading to the charming Finikounda village.
Finikounda is built in a cove bay, just across the complex of Oinousses that is composed of Sapienza, Schiza, Venetiko and Agia Mariani islands. Finikounda does not have many palm-trees, but hides in its bosom the most enchanting beaches of Messinia. These sandy beaches have made this small coastal fishing village a popular summer holiday resort.
That’s what has been planned as our next stop for the day. You will have some 2.5 hrs of free time to enjoy the swim in crystal clear waters of Finikounda beach or you can visit one of the local tavernas to try Greek “meze” with a glass of ouzo.
After the few hours spent in Finikounda, you will board on your fully air-conditioned coach for the return trip.
