Leaaving Pilos, on our way to either destination we visit the awesome Navarino bay exit. It is an impressive place with beautiful rock formations, and spot full of history
Marathopoli
Proti Isle is just opposite to Marathopoli. It is a picturesque, uninhabited island. On top of visiting its beautiful spots, there is a large choice of activities on the island. Hiking can start from a small bay with vertical rocky walls and centuries-old inscriptions that include wishes for good luck and fair weather. At the end of the hike, you can swim into a cave just below a monastery. Later on, we visit a sandy beach on the south side of the island. There, you can swim over or dive into a shipwreck just 4 meters deep. An ancient castle ruin lies right at the top of the rock that closes the beach. Leaving the island, we pass close to its lighthouse to the south.
Sapientza Isle
The Sapientza island is located just south of Methoni village, close to the tip of the Messinian peninsula. Sapientza is an ideal sailing destination because it includes a number of beautiful anchorages. Close to the northern tip of the island, there is a scenic beach with a path next to it leading to the top of a hill after a 10-minute hike.
