2025 Pylos-Nestoras Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#summervacay Methoni Castle feels like something from Game of Thrones. It juts out into the sea, connected to the mainland by a stone bridge, and surrounded by crashing waves. I walked through massive gates, explored old towers, and stood in the shade of a Venetian fortress built centuries ago. There’s barely anyone around, so it feels personal and immersive. After exploring, I had fresh grilled sardines at a beach taverna nearby. History, nature, and good food—my favorite trio.

#summerdestinations During my summer vacation, I had the chance to explore Methoni Castle, and it was an unforgettable experience. Located in the charming town of Methoni in the Messinia region of Greece, this fortress is a stunning example of medieval architecture. The entrance fee was only €3, which felt like a steal for the rich history and impressive views you get. The castle’s walls, towers, and moat are remarkably well-preserved, and wandering through the stone passageways made me feel like I was stepping back in time. The panoramic views of the Ionian Sea from the castle are absolutely breathtaking. 🏰🌊 Nearby, the picturesque town of Methoni offers lovely cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy local Greek cuisine and take in the seaside atmosphere. Additionally, the nearby Bourtzi Castle on a small islet is worth a visit, adding another layer of historical intrigue to the trip. Overall, Methoni Castle was a highlight of my trip, blending historical depth with beautiful scenery. #trip #MethoniCastle #GreekHistory #MedievalArchitecture #TravelGreece #HistoricWonders
