How to get here
The blue route goes to Nectar (for Nectar rental guests) and the red route goes to our farm (for volunteers). Google often tells you to turn at the red cross, do not turn here. Our path follows the purple line and starts here. For Nectar it is quite straightforward. For the farm, it can be a bit more tricky (especially in winter). So volunteers coming to the farm beware of the information below!)
How to get here by bus
From Athens or Kalamata you have to take the KTEL bus to Pylos.
The closest airport is at Kalamata. The bus schedule is here: https://www.ktelmessinias.gr/en/routes/
From Athens, it leaves from Kifissos central station. Bus X93 (direct)/X95 (longer) brings you from the airport to the bus station.
In Pylos, I can eventually come pick you up but I would prefer in the morning. Otherwise, you can always grab a cab or else and I will pick you up in Mesochori.
How to drive to the farm
Avoid driving to Dio Pigadia farm on a rainy day. The road gets very slippery and you might get stuck. The road to Nectar is fine. Your best option if the road is wet and you go to the farm is to stop at the the crossroad just before turning left to the farm! Or call us so we decide together the best solution!
Are you driving from Pylos?
Here is a Video on Instagram how to come to us.
After you crossed Mesochori the main road turns left, continue 100m and check our white sign on the right. Then just follow the white signs (1 left – 1 right!)
Are you driving from Methoni or Finikounda?
Caution: avoid the Pidassos road that is not shorter and makes your arrival more complicated (google maps might send you on dirt roads that are better avoided with a city car).
Please follow the road that passes through Varakes. You will arrive directly in Mesochori where the directions are the same as when you come from Pylos.
Shortly after the main road turns left after you crossed the village, check our white sign on the right. Then just follow the white signs (1 left – 1 right!)
