Athens & Costa Navarino Tour

Arrive in Athens (or fly into Kalamata just 45 minutes from the resort) and board your luxury transfer 3 hours northwest to Kalamata, and check into the 5-star W Costa Navarino, an adults only beachfront resort. Choose from a room, suite with private pool, or even up to a 3-bedroom luxury Villa.

Your afternoon is free to relax around one of the many pools or at the beach, and we recommend dining tonight in the casual beachfront Parelia restaurant for the glorious sunset.

Your first day of golf on The Hills, the new Olazabal designed course that shares the world-class practice facility and clubhouse with The Olympic Academy Course.

This afternoon, after a swim, explore the Navarino Agora for shops and dinner in Guacana, a casual yet sophisticated Peruvian restaurant built on a small peninsula surrounded by the water, or in one of the other many restaurants in the Agora.

A shuttle will take you the 20-minute drive to The Dunes, the Bernhard Langer designed course where the European Legends play.

After golf, make sure to spend an hour or three at the beach and dining in Barbouni restaurant with its “moving roof”. You’ve got to see it to believe it.

Enjoy an adventure day today with your choice of water sports, boat rental, beach and pool day, or venture into the local towns around Messina with 4,500 year old villages, 33 local castles, and 3 UNESCO World Heritage sites.

Pylos is a hillside town nearby with oceanfront restaurants and shops around a traditional square, and Gialova, the beach town on Navarino Bay with more shops and outdoor restaurants where the locals get away.

Bring your camera today for the golf at the nearby Bay Course, the Robert Trent Jones Jr designed course that has to be among the most beautiful settings in the world of golf. We can almost guarantee that you will take as many photos as you’ll take golf shots today!

The Bay Course Clubhouse, with the championship first tee on its turfed rooftop, is a pretty amazing place for lunch before returning 5 minutes to the W and another day trying to decide between the beach or a pool drink.

Take the free shuttle tonight to dine al fresco at Da Luigi in the Navarino Dunes Agoura, or at Flame, the steakhouse restaurant in the Dunes Clubhouse. Both are excellent options!

The Olympic Academy GC is your golf venue for the day and make sure to arrive early for a proper warmup.  Again, like the other Costa Navarino courses, the views are spectacular and the course is maintained to high standards.

For your final round of golf, choose any of the previous four courses you have played and enjoy a last round with your group.

We recommend a final night dinner at Ouzeri by Papaionnou restaurant for traditional Greek dining prepared in classic fashion.

Check out of The W and shuttle either 45 minutes to Kalamata Airport, or the 3 hours to Athens airport for flights back home. Arrive home relaxed, tanned, and satisfied after your wonderful week in Greece at Costa Navarino.

From Athens Airport, a private shuttle to your downtown Athens hotel where the afternoon is free explore the local area including the Plaka neighborhood with the many restaurants and shops at the foot of the Acropolis.

After breakfast in your hotel, a guided city tour of Athens to include the Acropolis (wear comfortable walking shoes), The Parthenon, and the Acropolis Museum.

Time permitting, visit Panathenaic Stadium which dates back to the 4th century B.C. and hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896.

A free day in Athens to explore on your own the National Archaeological Museum, Ancient Agora marketplace of Athens, take in an live performance at a the Herod Atticus Odeon amphitheater, or even a Temple of Poseidon tour.
