Pylos Town

Pylos

Pylos

Welcome to Pylos!

Pylos is a pretty little town built up a hill on the south coast of the bay of Navarino, with snow-white, two-storey houses, red or yellow tiled, with courtyards drenched in flowers. The arcaded streets make you think you've been transported to an island. The main square, ringed with pastry shops, is sheltered by giant, centuries-old plane trees.

The TurkoVenetian fortress, known as Neokastro (=new castle), dominates the west side of town. One of the most attractive in the Peloponnese, it is kept in a very good condition and functions as a museum and a venue hosting many cultural events that take place each summer, one of them always at full moon. It is called Niokastro to distinguish it from the medieval fortress to the southwest, named Paliokastro (=old castle) or Palionavarino. This Frankish castle was built in the 13th century at a spot where the ancient town of Koryfassio used to be. The bay of Voidokilia extends from the base of the old castle.

A tranquil, carefree sanctuary, the floor of the bay is covered with a thick layer of sand. Not far away, Sfakteria Island protects the bay. Bird watching and photographing is possible around the bay, as the Hellenic Ornithological Society has built and maintains a path with special wildlife hideouts. Continue
