Costa Navarino resort in Greece?

hammergolf · March 9

Looking at option for my groups 2025 trip. Costa Navarino looks amazing by the pics. Would love to hear some reviews of the different courses from those of you who have been there.

Thanks for the info. It’s very high on my list for a trip and everything I’ve read and seen is great.

Any thoughts what you're itinerary would look like? Sightseeing plus golf trip or a golf focused short stay?

My group of 8 would be golf focused for 7 days so we would rent a house near the resort. There would be a few of us that would spend a day or so in Athens. I’ve been there, but don’t think anyone else has.

I went last year and highly recommend it. Courses and facilities are nice. We stayed at The Ramanos which was also great. They aren't the best golf courses you'll ever play, but a lot of fun and stunning views. If you don't care to see Athens I would suggest flying into Kalamata. We had a private driver from Athens and it is a lengthy drive after an overnight flight. They do have private drivers for hire at the resort, so that made it easy. We've done Greece a few times, but this was the first time here. I love the area, great food, people are super nice...

There are 4 courses, 2 in each "location." All 4 were in really good shape. The Olympic course has some of the most beautiful views on a course I have ever played. I'd rank them, Olympic, Dunes, Hill, Bay. We plan on going back as it is perfect for us with the beach resort and golf.

Yes I am. Getting to Greece from here is a pain in the a** 😂. Used to go from Chicago and jump on a flight directly to Athens. That is the biggest hurdle with Costa Navarino.

I’m close to you just on the other side of the river. I meet with the guys in my group next month to decide out trip for next year. We’ve narrowed it down to either Costa Navarino or Liverpool.
