Philosophical Walks in the idyllic environment of Costa Navarino

 Costa Navarino has recently introduced a series of philosophical walks for guests. The walks  

 have been launched this year as part of the destination's programme of various activities taking

 place each season.

 During guided forays through the idyllic Messinian countryside, Professors lead discussions on  

 topics taken from the writings of antiquity, which explore and shed light on the broader impact

 of ancient Greek philosophical thought in the world.

This innovative activity (lasting approx 1,5hrs and taking place during the weekends) takes its inspiration from the ancient Greek philosophers that taught everywhere, even during a leisurely walk, and offers a unique experience combining philosophical enquiry with the natural, untouched landscape in the mild climate of the region.

 Topics covered during the Philosophical Walks which are led by University Professors, include      

 works of prominent Greek philosophers such as ‘Socrates on Madness and Love’, ‘Plato on the

 physical universe’, ‘Euripides on democracy’, and others. Besides these walks, guests may enjoy

 the temperate year round climate and explore Messinia’s rich cultural heritage that spans over

 4,500 years. Costa Navarino is the ideal base as within close reach, the historical background

 unfolds through Neolithic settlements, Mycenaean palaces, Classical temples, Byzantine churches

 and medieval castles.

As well as the philosophical walks, guests at The Westin Resort can take advantage of numerous further sports and outdoor activities and a great range of indoor facilities.
