Anyone looking to experience the "real Greece" has come to the right place. In Pylos, the three admirals square under the sycamore trees is a popular meeting place, particularly in the evening. The town has a number of excellent restaurants, where guests are asked into the kitchen to sample the cooking skills of the chef - Pylos has preserved the best of the Greek lifestyle. Not far from Pylos is Nestor's Palace, one of the most well-preserved palace grounds in Greece. The earliest finds at this important centre of the Mycenaean world date from around 1300 B.C..
