Sailing to Pylos - Most EPIC place in Peloponnese [Ep.15] Greece top Anchorage - Sailing SV CUBA (Patreon)

We wake up at famous Shipwreck Beach Zakynthos in this week’s episode of SV CUBA, but now we are no longer alone. The popular beach is once again crowded with holidaymakers. So, we use the day to do some video editing, finally fix the fridge fan, and plan where to sail next. The wind is predicted to come from the west very soon and it will no longer be safe for us to anchor here at Smugglers Cove.

We decide to sail to the historic natural harbor of Pylos about 75 nautical miles southeast. On our sail to Pylos, we are met with only very fair winds. But after a night sail, the arrival couldn’t be more spectacular.

Once the anchor is set, we check out the town, grab some street food and make our way to the Neocastro. Pylos has been a site of many sea battles and has also been inhabited for thousands of years so we could not let the opportunity pass to learn a little more about this magnificent place. Just a few hundred meters from the town center there are 3 museums within a fortress, housing numerous precious artifacts, which have been unearthed in many different sites around the Peloponnese.
