Fishing boats, summer yachts and the occasional small cruise ship fill the quay at Pilos, the main harbour on Greece's Bay of Navarino. Sheltered by the island of Sphacteria, it ranks among the safest natural anchorages on the Ionian coast, yet it offers no container, general-cargo or regular ferry services. The modern pier is built for passengers and pleasure craft rather than freight. Shippers in the Messenia region rely instead on the regional port of Kalamata, about an hour away by road, or larger ports such as Patras and Piraeus.
