Sandy beaches and ancient ruins dot the Ionian Sea in Costa Navarino in Messinia Greece. Often overlooked by the more famous Greek Islands of Santorini or Crete, Costa Navarino has everything you could want in a vacation to Greece. With beautiful white sand beaches, award-winning golf, thousand-year-old ruins, and strong local culture, it’s a trip you won’t soon forget.
The Westin Resort Costa Navarino
Nestled against the Ionian Sea, The Westin Resort Costa Navarino has been voted one of the best resorts in Greece and one of the foremost holiday destinations in Europe! Enjoy 4-nights in a Deluxe Garden Room. This 5 Star property prides itself on creating an ambiance of genuine hospitality.
The Courses
Greece offers 12 golf courses in the entire country – 4 of them are in Costa Navarino. In a landscape of diverse topography with spectacular sea and river views, Costa Navarino offers a world-class golfing experience to golfers of all levels. It’s going to be hard to choose which to play! Included in this experience are two rounds of golf per person.
The Dunes
The seaside Dunes Course at Navarino Dunes, designed by former US Masters Champion and Ryder Cup Captain Bernhard Langer, in association with European Golf Design, opened in May 2010 and is the first signature golf course in Greece. This 18-hole / par-71 championship golf course includes some links-style features in areas closest to the sea. Parts of the course venture into olive and fruit groves, while several holes run along a small river. Combined with large undulating greens, wide fairways, and steep-faced pot bunkers, the links element of the course adds to its unique style and playability, so that each of the 18 holes presents a matchless challenge. The Dunes Course includes a full-size driving range and a short-game practice area with the largest green in Europe.
The Bay Course
Open since October 2011, The Bay Course at Navarino Bay – just a few minutes from Navarino Dunes and next to the historic Navarino Bay, promises a different set of challenges and choices, with greater emphasis on strategic play and positional golf. With the majority of tees offering inspiring sea views, the 18-hole seaside Bay Course, designed by Robert Trent Jones II, meanders through three distinct natural landscapes. The Seaside, Canyon, and Grove holes provide striking contrasts that make for an intense and memorable golf round. The Bay Course plays to a par of 71 from a variety of lengths, designed to challenge golfers of various skill levels. Crafted across natural terrain, the layout is offering panoramic sea and mountain views, having also some holes that play directly along the sea.
Navarino Hills: 2 brand new golf courses
Two new 18-hole golf courses designed by two-time Masters champion and Ryder Cup legend José María Olazábal, are set above the coastline and offer panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the Bay of Navarino, and the Ionian Sea. They both play to par 72, the first is the International Olympic Academy Golf Course measuring 6,366m in length, while the second course measures 6,280m.
From the Tree to the Oil
Long before Golfing, the Region was famous for its “liquid gold”. Meet your guide at the Byzantine Castle of Androusa for a fun and informative tour about olive oil that starts with a relaxing “olive walk” inside the 13th-century castle, marveling at the endless Messinian olive valley.
Take in the breathtaking view of the endless olive valley, learn about different varieties of olive trees, and discover the history, tradition, and mythical story of the castle’s olive trees. Your tour continues with a visit to the traditional (with 100 years of history) and the modern olive oil mill with a demonstration of the production method of extra virgin olive oil. Finally, your tour culminates in a revealing olive oil tasting workshop of three different extra virgin olive oils by a certified olive oil taster, accompanied by traditional olive oil-based dishes. Enjoy the local Greek flavors.
