Pylos, a
picturesque town in Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece, boasts a rich history
dating back to Neolithic times. Historically known as Navarino, Pylos was once a
significant kingdom in Mycenaean Greece. The nearby "Palace of Nestor," named after the king of
Pylos in Homer's Iliad, is a testament to the town's ancient past. Pylos has witnessed
battles during the Peloponnesian War and was later controlled by the Republic of
Venice and the Ottoman Empire. The current town, built outside the fortress walls in the 19th
century, offers a charming atmosphere for exploration.
