When not relaxing on the beaches, explore Pylos history, from its Neolithic roots to its 19C New Town established by the French.

Pylos, historically also known under its Italian name Navarino, is a town in Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece. The Gialova wetland is a regional blessing of nature. It is one of 10 major lagoons in Greece and has been classified as one of the important bird areas in Europe. The observation post of the Greek Ornithological Society allows visitors to find out more and to watch the shallow brackish waters of the lake, they can walk the paths that circumscribe Gialova's different ecosystems.

Everything went very well. I was most impressed. Your route suggestions were excellent. As I had no idea what I was doing and what to expect, as I was going to Croatia for the first time, you guided me perfectly and spot on. One hotel that I had booked was a let down, but I booked a room in a random hotel, and all the other hotels were really nice and I was completely satisfied. All in all, I only have praise for your company, as well as thanks for assisting me on this venture. I wish you all the best and may your company be successful. I will use you again.

The trip was wonderful. Your team reacted very quickly and sorted out any misunderstandings immediately. The route was properly calculated and, although I drove alone throughout the trip, it wasn't very tiring. As for the hotels, they were neat and clean, some especially friendly, bright, and walking distance from the city center. I have already recommended your website to my colleagues.
