Arriving at Athens International Airport and heading to Costa Navarino? Skip the stress of rental cars and domestic connections. Our private transfer takes you directly from the arrivals hall to the lobby of your resort in complete comfort, with a professional driver who knows every kilometre of the route.
Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall holding a sign with your name. After a warm welcome and help with your luggage, you will settle into a climate-controlled Mercedes for the drive south.
The route follows the modern Olympia Odos motorway, crossing the dramatic Corinth Canal bridge before sweeping through the Arcadian highlands. As you descend toward the Messinian coast, olive groves and cypress trees replace the motorway landscape. The final stretch takes you along quiet country roads to the gates of Costa Navarino.
Many of our guests use the drive to unwind after their flight — catch up on sleep, enjoy the complimentary WiFi, or simply watch the Greek countryside unfold outside the window.
Both vehicles feature leather interiors, rear climate control, USB charging ports, and ample legroom for a comfortable long-distance journey.
The drive takes approximately 3 to 3.5 hours under normal traffic conditions. We monitor real-time traffic and choose the fastest route available. The exact duration depends on which resort or hotel you are staying at within the Costa Navarino complex.
Absolutely. Many guests request a brief stop at the Corinth Canal for photos, or a lunch break in a village along the route. Short stops of up to 20 minutes are complimentary. Longer detours, such as a visit to Ancient Corinth, can be arranged at a small additional fee.
In many cases, yes. A domestic flight involves a second check-in, boarding, a 50-minute flight, baggage reclaim at Kalamata, and then a 45-minute transfer to Costa Navarino. The total time is often comparable to a direct private drive from Athens — without the extra stress and cost.
