SAPIENZA ISLAND

Located just south of Methoni and in close proximity is Sapienza, belonging to the cluster of Messinian Oinousses. Adjacent to it lies a cove named Ammos. On its southern periphery stands a sizable stone lighthouse, towering at a height of 8 meters. This lighthouse, commissioned by Queen Victoria of England, was erected in the year 1885.

VOURLIA BEACH (PROTI ISLAND)

Vourlia Beach is a petite cove characterized by white sand and turquoise waters. Situated on the island of “Proti,” across from Marathoupolis, this beach harbors the remnants of the ship Anuar, which was bombed during World War II, resting at a very shallow depth.

SYKIA STRAIT

Towards the conclusion of Divari Beach lies the Strait of Sykia, a narrow passage spanning 150 meters. This opening serves to separate the island of Sfaktiria from the Gialova coastline. Positioned at the northern extremity of Sfaktiria island is a slender stretch of sandy shoreline, accompanied by shallow turquoise waters.

DIVARI BEACH

Regarded as one of the most stunning and expansive beaches in Messinia, it features fine golden sand and exceptionally clear waters. In close proximity lies the Gialova Lagoon, among Greece’s crucial wetlands, serving as a sanctuary for numerous species of rare migratory birds. Both Divari Beach and the lagoon have been designated as a special protection zone and are integral components of the Natura 2000 network.

ENGLISH MONUMENT

Situated in the heart of the Navarino Bay is the island “Helonaki,” measuring a mere 172 meters in length. Here, visitors have the opportunity to explore the monument dedicated to the fallen English soldiers from the naval battle of Navarino, which transpired on October 20, 1827.

FRENCH MONUMENT

At the southwestern end of Navarino Bay, there is a small islet with an elevation of fifty meters offering a breathtaking view. On maps, it is marked as “Pylos Islet,” in books it is referred to as Fanari or Trypito, and the locals know it by the name Tsichli Baba.

Access to the islet is via 135 steps. At the top, the French Monument stands prominently, a marble column erected in 1890 in honor of the French soldiers who fell in the Battle of Navarino.

RUSSIAN MONUMENT

Situated on Sfaktiria, a rocky island spanning four kilometers and enfolding the port of Pylos, is the Russian monument. This island contributes to making the port one of the most secure anchorages in the Mediterranean. At the heart of the island stands a concrete pier, and amidst the trees, one can find the monument dedicated to the Russians who sacrificed their lives in the naval battle of Navarino on October 20, 1827.

METHONI

Methoni stands as a picturesque coastal village, located 15 nautical miles away from Pylos. Its allure lies in the grandeur of its Venetian castle, counted among the largest in the Mediterranean. The sandy beach of Methoni complements the scenery, and the presence of a pier provides a convenient mooring location for boats.
