The beautiful Greek resort just as good as Crete and Rhodes but with hardly any tourists

Greece is full of beautiful holiday spots, which is why it is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. However, areas including Rhodes and Crete can feel overcrowded due to their popularity among travellers. Both the stunning islands welcome millions of tourists every year.

Thankfully, holidaymakers who do not want to miss out on Greece's white sand beaches, warm sunshine, and crystal blue waters but aren't ready to face large crowds of tourists can head to a destination that is just as beautiful. That is the Costa Navarino resort, located in the Messinia area of Greece's southwestern Peloponnese region.

Costa Navarino is a gem that has not yet been fatigued by waves of tourists, and links picturesque Greek beaches with modern comfort, reports Y netnews.

According to the resort's official website, the luxury destination "aims to offer a world of authentic experiences, always with respect for the natural environment, the local community and the region's rich history and culture."

The unspoiled area is home to five premium five-star resorts, including Mandarin Oriental Costa Navarino, W Costa Navarino, The Romanos, and The Westin Resort Costa Navarino.

It also features three spa centres, four signature 18-hole golf courses, more than 40 dining venues, various sports, outdoor and cultural activities, making it the perfect spot for every kind of traveller.

Beyond all the incredible things to do, the resort holds significant cultural heritage that dates back thousands of years, and can be explored through the landscapes and authentic experiences.

Visitors can participate in an authentic village cooking class held in a traditional Messinian home, engage in discussions about ancient philosophies during a guided philosophy walk, and join olive oil tasting sessions that offer insights into the region's renowned extra-virgin oil.

Of course, one of the best parts about Costa Navarino is the many beaches it is home to, including the renowned Voidokilia Beach, which has 4.5 stars on TripAdvisor.

A visitor said on TripAdvisor: "The beach of Voidokiliya is not only a landscape of rare natural beauty but also a place loaded with history and myth. Its perfect semi-circular shape looks like it was designed by an artist, while the blue-green waters and golden sand make you feel like you are in a small paradise.

"From the hill dominates Paleokastro, while next to it is the cave of Nestora, connecting the place with Homer and the mythical tradition of Pylos. Here, nature, history and myth become one - an experience that goes beyond the usual concept of 'shore'. There are no organised infrastructures, which preserves the authenticity of the landscape. Just make sure you have the necessary with you and respect it so that it remains intact as it deserves."
