Car Rental: The Flexible Option<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to leave the resort to visit Voidokilia, Gialova, or Pylos, a car is the best solution for <strong>transportation to Costa Navarino<\/strong>. Taxis for these trips cost quite a bit, so renting gives you independence and is more economical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Child seat:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re traveling with children, you must definitely declare it during online booking under &#8220;extras&#8221;.
