For the ancient Greeks, agoras were the place to be. Characterised as friendly little spots for all communal goings on, it makes sense that Navarino Agora would attract one of hospitality’s most social brands. Brimming with a moreish effervescence, W Costa Navarino acts as a grown-up playground. Bands of friends congregate at Parelia beach club, teens bond over competitively friendly water sports, and solo travellers find like minds on neighbouring sun loungers. All, however, make the most of the enviable walk-out access to the shops, street food venders and open-air cinema in the village marketplace.  

They may be pockets of calm, but the rooms don’t sacrifice that feeling of being in on the action. Those on the agora side can practically roll to the revelry of the lively square. But for what they lack in quiet solitude they make up for with access to a part of the beach less frequented by other guests. The rest of the resort is a mix; the inifnity rooms share a zero edge pool on their doorsteps, while other suites sit directly on the sand making the commute to shoreside gatherings effortless. It's here that the crème de la crème of W’s villas (and a multi-gen family’s paradise) sits, elevating its status further with its own bar, firepit and outdoor cinema.
