As I was telling you in the port city of Pylos, so important to the history of the independence of Greece, we find the Nestor's Palace, an archaeological site that to get there we must take a bus to Kiparisia that reaches the ruins and also the city of Hora. The palace is 15 kilometers away in total and its remains were only found in 1939.
It is a series of archeological ruins that correspond to the palace inhabited by the legendary King Nestor, the one who appears in the Odyssey. It is a construction from the Mycenaean period that was destroyed by the Dorians around 1200 BC and from which archaeological excavations have brought to light three very different sets: the main palace, in the center, the old palace, to the west, and the servants' quarters and workshops to the east.
We entered the main palace for a propylaeum To whose left we have the first room where several tablets with linear writing were found and to the right, the so-called guard room. Ahead we see the patio and the megaon of the king where the throne room used to be, which still retains the painted floor today. To the right there are rooms that correspond to the queen's megaron, the bathroom and toilet room and then we see several more rooms that today are thought to have been shops and warehouses.
The Nestor Palace is open from Monday to Saturday between 8:45 a.m. and 3:9 p.m. and on Sundays from 30:2 a.m. to 30:XNUMX p.m. On Sundays you do not pay entrance.
What can I say about the sandy Pylos, simply that I am proud to belong to the Mediterranean, I am in love with my landscapes, my culture, my gastronomy, my history ... which is the history of my Mediterranean, the history that my ancestors , of which I am proud, they wrote, I wish I could enter the time machine and be an invisible witness of that golden age!
