As Christopher Nolan’s epic “The Odyssey” dominates the global box office, the stunning landscapes of Greece’s south-western Peloponnese are emerging as one of the summer’s most desirable travel destinations.
Filmed on location with minimal CGI, Nolan’s production showcased the dramatic beauty of Messinia — a region rich in ancient history, untouched beaches, caves, and olive groves. At the heart of this cinematic paradise is Costa Navarino, a world-class, sustainably-focused resort destination that hosted members of the film’s cast and crew.
