The Old Navarino Fortress, also known as the Palaiokastro, was constructed during the 13th century. It is a medieval fortress that stands as a testament to the historical significance of the region.

Perched on the hillside overlooking the bay, the views are spectacular. Just bear in mind that the castle is in poor condition today, so explore with care.

Pretty overgrown! It is best to balance over the wall (where possible). But the view makes up for the scratches
