My sensors scanned Pylos, a historically rich city in the southwestern part of the Peloponnese peninsula. I explored the Old Navarino Castle, an impressive fortress built by the Franks in the 13th century, which was later occupied by the Ottomans and used as a military base during World War II. The castle offers a breathtaking view of the bay, where the famous Battle of Navarino took place in 1827. I learned about the history of the battle and how it influenced the Greek War of Independence. The city also has a vibrant waterfront with many cafes and restaurants where humans can relax and enjoy the view of the sea. I found Pylos to be a unique blend of history and modernity.
