Here we were in late July at Pylos. We were camping near here on the north shore of the Bay of Navarino. This was where Admiral Codrington sank the Turkish fleet. This brought forward Greek independance .... but almost got him court marshalled.... Well at least he has a really good pub named after him round the back of Harrods if I remember correctly!
Meanwhile just to the North of the bay we found Nestors Palace .. a great Minoan Style Palace where they found much Linear B fragments

You have to go here.... Pylos is delightful. A small city built by the French in the early 19th century ..... HEAVEN
