A large underground network of caves full of strangely shaped rock formations.
Reviewed By JohnV801 - Athens, Greece
One of the most beautiful caves I have visited. To start off with the facilities were very well kept, very clean and all Covid measures adhered to. The sheer beauty we encountered during the short boat ride and walk through the cave was really something else. We dwarfed in comparison to the age and beauty of this phenomenon. Stalactites and stalagmites dating back ages in colors of nature that no human hand could achieve. Well worth the trip.

A small amount of staff on site and very pleased to help with information. The castle ruins with all the attached buildings leading up the mound (mountainside) to the very highest parts where you can look down over countryside, ruins, and other buildings in the complex around the main castle. clamber down from the highest part to the entrance gate and then further down toward the palace (closed during my visit) and many other buildings or remains of. . Best to take the visit easy allowing plenty of time, if I have the opportunity I would enjoy a second visit as much as the first.

Visited this beach a couple of times while staying in nearby Pylos. It was recommended to us by the reception staff at our hotel. This is a beautiful long sandy beach and popular with with wind surfers. Not very busy when we were there and we were not charged for using sunbeds and umbrella. Presume they belonged to the nearby beach bar where we did buy drinks on each visit. I would happily return here for a beach based holiday and made a note of some accommodation that was next to the beach for future reference! There is also camping nearby.

The Museum's objective is to highlight the ineffable relation of the olive with the identity of our country and, more generally, the Mediterranean basin. The olive and olive oil are presented here from different optical angles: the economy, nutrition and the olive's uses, religious worship, art and technology.

Located at the head of Kon / Nou Palaiologou and directly in front of the modern stadium, this impressive statue offers a good photo opportunity. To the left is a road which takes you to the ruins of the ancient site, worth a visit.
