Pylos, Harbor town in Messenia, Greece
The town extends along Navarino Bay with white buildings ascending the hillside and a central square shaded by large plane trees.
The Battle of Navarino in 1827 saw British, French, and Russian naval forces defeat the Ottoman-Egyptian fleet, marking a turning point in Greek independence.
The Palace of Nestor archaeological site near Pylos contains discoveries of Linear B tablets that reveal administrative practices of Mycenaean civilization.
Travelers can reach Pylos through Kalamata International Airport, located 52 kilometers away, with regular connections to major European cities.
The natural harbor of Navarino Bay, protected by Sfaktiria island, ranks among the largest and most secure anchorages in the Mediterranean Sea.
