Camping Thines

The spectacular sands of Ligonamos and clear blue Ionian Sea right by should keep you busy for some days in this part of Greece; after that, many more long lengths of beach are within easy reach including Loytsa to the east and Anemomylos to the west. As it's Greece, piles of ancient history and old sites are all around too: wander around Methoni, Koroni, Hora and the Mycenaean tombs and catacombs to start off, along with Pylos and its thirteenth century Frankish fortress Navarino castle to start off. Other options are the Polilimnio waterfalls, near the village of Kazarma off the road from Pylos to Messina, and the lagoon of Gialova about eight kilometres from Pylos, which along with  Voidokilia Bay is a protected area for its cultural and natural heritage.
