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.

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?
