The coast road from Methoni to Nestor’s Palace is a pleasant drive which goes through Pylos on Navarino Bay [which will probably be a bit traffic jammy] and then passes by the picture postcard Giavola Lagoon which is bird sanctuary and Voidokilia Beach. They are really worth visiting even though the beach can get busy at peak times and weekends.
