Costa Navarino

Costa Navarino is a prime, sustainable destination in the Mediterranean that is located in the region of Messenia regional unit, Peloponnese, southern Greece. It is located in one of the most unspoiled and breathtaking seaside landscapes in the Mediterranean, an area that has been shaped by 4,500 years of history. The Costa Navarino philosophy is driven by a genuine desire to promote Messenia, while protecting and preserving its natural beauty and heritage, which is why the building footprint at Costa Navarino will be less than 10% of the total land area.
