Flights to The Peloponnese We are delighted to provide flights to The Peloponnese (Kalamata or Athens), from Gatwick and other regional airports within the UK at an additional cost. Please ask your consultant for details. Gialova Introduction Gialova is set on Navarino Bay, in the southwestern Peloponnese. It is a very small seaside village, one that has retained its traditional Greek character, and one that has some outstanding features. Its 1.5 kilometre long sandy beach, known as ‘Golden Beach’, stretches from the village itself west to Old Navarino Castle that dates from the 13th century, and the beach is in fact a sand bar that separates the sea from Gialova Lagoon, a natural site of great ecological importance. The lovely beach is shaded here and there by trees, and in the village itself a row of good tavernas lines the beachfront in a delightfully relaxed setting. In fact, relaxation is what a holiday in or near Gialova is all about, but there is no lack of interesting places to visit: climb up to Nestor’s Palace for a breathtaking view of the wonderful Voidomati Bay, almost a perfect circle of spectacular beach, or visit charming Pylos with its well-preserved castle. |
