S4 Ep 1 — Discovering Costa Navarino with David Ashington

We do, we do, we

do.

We've got two different

varieties out there, the 1827 wine and the Coitele, which is really, really nice.

It's not only used inside the properties of Costa Navarino, but wider across the Peloponnese and people really enjoy it.

It's

got great stories.

I mean, 1827 and the Battle of 1827 in the bay.

And it was it's basically freed the Greeks from the Ottomans.

There you go.

Yeah.

And also, I've been to so many places, but there is the Three Admirals somewhere on the property, which is a nod again to the 1827 battle.

Totally.

I mean, for anybody that doesn't know about 1827, please just put it in Google.

1827 Navarino battle and just have a look at the images and you'll be just astonished that this actually took place right here in front of us.

Just kind of

there.

Very slightly behind you Neil.

And every time, there's a lot of restaurants that carry the books as well, like really heavy coffee table books that you can flick through and really learn all about that.

quite liberating battle for Greece that was supported by many other nations as well and quite an audacious way of blocking them into the bay and forcing a surrender that means we're sitting here today probably.

And the bay is a real feature of Costa Navarino as well isn't it? It's where that calmness comes in and that beautiful backdrop for the golf course is

sensational.

It's a spectacular piece of land and we are so blessed across, Costan Marino goes across 13 kilometers essentially tip to tip so and different landscapes I mean behind us here we've got the Ionian Sea absolutely beautiful and then as you go to the area where we have the bay developments with two hotels, the Agoda public area as well and the bay golf course.

It's a totally different, I mean, we were having dinner there last night and the water doesn't move, I think I mentioned to

Andrew.
