Located in Messinia, in the southwest Peloponnese across the Ionian Sea from Sicily, Costa Navarino didn’t see resort development until 2010.
I went on vacation to Greece and wound up in the hospital for a month — doctors say if I fly home I might dieBut the lure of waters azure and clean cuisine mean New York’s obsession with Greece won’t be ending anytime soon. In fact, the Mediterranean cognoscenti have already made a new discovery: Costa Navarino.
Sure, there are picturesque beaches to explore, but why walk when you can cycle? There are miles of scenic rides to discover. If you are a bit tired to pedal back on some of the rougher roads, don’t stress — the hotels provide e-bikes that will have you navigating those hills effortlessly. While there are many local dining spots worth visiting, the hotels themselves have 20 of their own, including Italian, Japanese, Lebanese and steak spots. But, of course, there is nothing like enjoying Mediterranean cuisine at Armyra and Kooc Taverna, where your lavraki was swimming in the sea and tomatoes and olives plucked off the vines, hours earlier.
Just over 12 miles from the Acropolis, it is located on a peninsula called the Athens Riviera, and has three private beaches. Rooms have oversize verandas that gaze over water and mountains, and some have their own pools. The general swimming area is on a spectacular waterfront setting and the hotel’s spa has indoor swimming, as well. The Four Seasons has eight restaurants including Michelin-starred Pelagos.
A sunset sail is a Cretan tradition best enjoyed over evening drinks. Return later for open-air cinema on the beach or listen to the haunting strains of a Cretan lyre while feasting on lamb spit roast over a bonfire.The resort’s Anthós restaurant offers Cretan cuisine courtesy of Chef Athinagoras Kostakos whose farm-to-table menu features produce from the garden adjacent to the patio.
Once you’ve done Crete, have a sniff at Sifnos, a heavenly Cycladic island 80 miles south of Athens where the cruise ships don’t stop.
