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.

Castle Ruins with View of Voidokilia Bay

Highlight • Castle

The narrow, rocky path, partly secured with ropes, is worth it for the beautiful views of the bay.

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.

Nestor's Cave below old Navarino Castle ⛰️🗿

Highlight • Cave

Tucked along the rocky coastline, Nestor's Cave is steeped in Greek mythology, associated with King Nestor, who featured prominently in Homer's epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey.

Inside, you'll discover mesmerising stalactites and stalagmites while listening to the soothing sound of waves crashing nearby.
