2 The prime sustainable destination in the Mediterranean The story of Costa Navarino is as old as Greece itself. It was wise King Nestor of ancient Pylos who first gave meaning to the word filoxenia hospitality when he befriended complete strangers. This is a place where, friendship can always be found, where happiness is measured by footsteps in the sand. It s also the story of a man with a dream. At Costa Navarino, the story of this land continues to be told.
