Pylos, Greece

Here is a view of where the Aegean and Ionian Seas meet at Pylos, Greee. Located in the far Southern mainland, Pylos is an extremely picturesque town with a lot of historical significance. This video shows Navarino Bay, where the historic Battle of Navarino took place -- the most important naval battle of the Greek War of Independance (almost the entire Turkish Fleet was sunk by a combined British, Russian and French fleet). You can also see Sfacteria Island in the near distance, where during the Pelopennesian War the Spartan arm suffered its only land defeat to Athens (425 BC).
