Set in the unspoiled southwest Peloponnese, Costa Navarino, home to four luxury resorts, private residences, world-class golf, award-winning wellness and authentic cultural experiences, has unveiled a series of Odyssey-inspired experiences to mark the release.

Palace of Nestor

Guests are invited to explore the landscapes and ancient sites that inspired Homer’s epic, including Voidokilia Beach, Nestor’s Cave and Methoni Castle, all easily accessible from Athens and Kalamata, making it an ideal luxury escape for GCC travellers seeking culture-led travel.

To celebrate the world premiere on 17 July, The Odyssey will also be screened under the stars at Danaos Open Air Cinema within Navarino Agora.

New immersive experiences include the Messinian Odyssey Trail, a six-stop interactive journey through myth and archaeology; Nestor’s Feast, a communal seven-course dining experience inspired by ancient Greek hospitality; Penelope’s Heritage Weaving Workshop, celebrating traditional craft and storytelling; and a suite of family-focused activities, including mythology-inspired programmes at Sandcastle Kids’ Club and the PLAYMOBIL Kids PlayPark.
