Pylos Town in Greece HD
Pylos, historically also known under its Italian name Navarino, is a town and a former municipality in Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece
Pylos did not start out with the greatest public relations campaign - in ancient times, it was believed to be one of the Gates to Hell. In Homer, it was the home of Nestor where Odysseus's son, Telemachus, sought information. Later, the Myceneans built the Palace of Nestor, which can still be visited - it's one of the most evocative of the Mycenean sites, with a clear floorplan. In more modern times, it watched over the Battle of Navarino which took place in the Bay of Navarino on October 20th, 1827. At the time, Pylos itself was known as Navarino. The current modern town of Pylos, also called Pilos, was actually founded by the French. The long island of Sphacteria (also spelled Sfakteria and other variants) is what creates the bay, protecting Pylos and adjacent sites on the mainland.
This area of the Peloponnese shows a more unusual atmosphere than the usual Roman, Venetian, and Ottoman influences which can be found throughout much of Greece. This area was occupied by Spain in 1361; some believe the name Navarino comes from the kings of Navarre. By the way, Pylos means gate.The word Peloponnese is not related to Pylos; it comes from the name Pelops, an early king of the region.
Pylos is mentioned by Homer in Book 17 of the Odyssey as Sandy Pylos, where Odysseus's son Telemachus came to Nestor's palace to see if he could find information about his long-missing father.

OurTour Visit Nestor's Cave, Bay of Voidhokilia, Peloponnese, Greece
Nestor was a mythical king of Pylos, written about by Homer in his ancient epic poems centred on the Peloponnese area of Greece, home of the Spartans. The cave above the Bay of Voidhokilia was supposedly used this cave to keep his cattle. It's big enough, and has a beautiful view out over this incredible part of the world.

Pylos (Greek: Πύλος), historically also known under its Italian name Navarino, is a town and a former municipality in Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality Pylos-Nestoras, of which it is the seat and a municipal unit. It was the capital of the former Pylia Province. It is the main harbour on the Bay of Navarino. Nearby villages include Gialova, Pyla, Elaiofyto, Schinolakka, and Palaionero. The town of Pylos has 2,767 inhabitants, the municipal unit of Pylos 5,287 (2011). The municipal unit has an area of 143.911 km2.
Pylos has a long history, having been inhabited since Neolithic times. It was a significant kingdom in Mycenaean Greece, with remains of the so-called Palace of Nestor excavated nearby, named after Nestor, the king of Pylos in Homer's Iliad. In Classical times, the site was uninhabited, but became the site of the Battle of Pylos in 425 BC, during the Peloponnesian War. Pylos is scarcely mentioned thereafter until the 13th century, when it became part of the Frankish Principality of Achaea. Increasingly known by its French name of Port-de-Jonc or its Italian name Navarino, in the 1280s the Franks built the Old Navarino castle on the site. Pylos came under the control of the Republic of Venice from 1417 until 1500, when it was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans used Pylos and its bay as a naval base, and built the New Navarino fortress there. The area remained under Ottoman control, with the exception of a brief period of renewed Venetian rule in 1685–1715 and a Russian occupation in 1770–71, until the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence in 1821. Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt recovered it for the Ottomans in 1825, but the defeat of the Turco-Egyptian fleet in the 1827 Battle of Navarino forced Ibrahim to withdraw from the Peloponnese and confirmed Greek independence.

Voidokilia Beach and Paliokastro - Costa Navarino - Pylos
Voidokilia Beach and Paliokastro (Old Navarino Castle), Costa Navarino, Greece
VOIDOKILIA (Βοϊδοκοιλιά) Beach, Bay, Curve or Cove is not only one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece, but maybe also in the Mediterranean Sea
Is hidden behind sand dunes, which seem to be protecting its secret of magic beauty. The beach of outstanding beauty lies beneath the Old Frankish castle (Paliokastro) and the cave of King Nestor.
PALIOKASTRO, PALEOKASTRO or PALAIOKASTRO
(Παλιοναβαρίνο) Palionavarino (old Navarino castle)
The old castle/fortress of Paliokastro was built by the Franks around 1278 / 13th (it seems position built on the ruins of a ancient Acropolis from the Pylos-Koryphasion city of Classical period), is situated the north side of Navarino bay, on the top of the hill (this promontory called Koryphasion -or Coryphasion-).
The castle is ruin, but the outside walls and his round and square towers is saved in a good condition.

Scientists Unearthed A 3,500 Year Old Tomb That’s Rewritten The History Of Western Civilization
It’s a damp Thursday morning on a Greek hillside in May 2015, and two archaeologists are excavating an apparently unpromising site close to the world-famous Palace of Nestor. Part of a team from the University of Cincinnati, the researchers have dug a three-foot hole in the unyielding clay – but they have nothing to show…

Palace of Nestor
The so-called Palace of Nestor (Modern Greek: Ανάκτορο του Νέστορα (Dimotiki); Ἀνάκτορον Νέστορος (Katharevousa)) is the primary structure within a larger Late Helladic era settlement, likely once surrounded by a fortified wall. The palace, widely identified with that of Mycenaean-era Pylos, was a two-storey building with store rooms, workshops, baths, light wells, reception rooms and a sewage system. The site is the best preserved Mycenaean Greek palace discovered.
During excavation in 1939 around 1,000 Linear B tablets were identified.
The settlement had been long occupied with most artefacts discovered dating from 1300 BCE. The palace complex was destroyed by fire around 1200 BCE.
In May 2013 the site was closed for renovation. The 1960s roof over the site was replaced by a modern structure with raised walkways for visitors. The site re-opened in June 2016.
