As Greece continues to remain open to double-vaccinated visitors, and double-vaxxed Brits now travel there without needing to quarantine on return, a whole new world of Greece’s beautiful islands and sandy resorts have become totally bookable for late summer getaways.
While many will be booking trips to Mykonos and Santorini, there are also some incredible under the radar regions to discover, which are just as gorgeous and certain to be less crowded.
The perfect example? Costa Navarino, the 5* travel destination in Messinia, on the under-the-radar Greek Peloponnese peninsula, where sustainability is at the heart of its luxury offerings.
The Ambassador villa at The Romanos, Costa Navarino
Boasting both luxury hotels and high-end private freehold residences inspired by nature, as well as the elegant Anazoe Spa, extensive dining options, and signature golf courses, the beachfront locale offers a wealth of enriching activities for visitors, deep-rooted in traditional Messinian culture and family-friendly activities. This is a high-end Mediterranean destination well worth your attention for your dream post-pandemic escape.
Steeped in culture: The Castle Of Methoni at Costa Navarino
As if travel being open again wasn’t enough of a reason to visit the hidden gem in 2021, this is also landmark year for Greece, as the country will be celebrating the 200-year anniversary of the Greek Revolution. Peloponnese itself is the birthplace of the revolt, so naturally, Costa Navarino in particular is set to be steeped in authentic cultural experiences to mark the occasion.
Among the exciting goings on in the region is Morias 21 – a collection of immersive events honouring the landmark bi-centennial anniversary taking place across Morias right now. The huge celebration will span art, nature, food and key historical sites, complete with immersive experiences which bring to life key moments from the region’s history – and where better to discover them in the Peloponnese peninsula, the birthplace of the revolt?

The foodie experiences on offer for guests to help bring the special anniversary to life, available now, include authentic Messinian cooking classes, along with curated menus and events across its 21 restaurants, bars and lounges.
Exquisite interiors in the lobby of The Westin Resort, Costa Navarino
As for where to stay at the under-the-radar destination, discerning travellers have a choice of two luxury five-star hotels, The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, and The Westin Resort Costa Navarino. Both escapes offer a choice of accommodation as stunning as the nature which surrounds them – providing luxe poolside settings and decadent suites and villas for the perfect post-exploration retreat.
