Through discovery and creation, and with the support of WWKC-qualified staff, children can broaden their knowledge and develop their skills.
New experiences let them take part in the history of Costa Navarino and the Messinian region. Role-playing games let them take on the role of Messinian pirates, follow in the footsteps of Hercules in Messinia or explore the surrounding countryside. Children of all ages can learn all about the environment and how to protect the region’s natural wonders and rare species, such as the Caouannes sea turtle, the African chameleon and endemic flora, on treks organized in collaboration with National Geographic. Children can also take part in craft workshops and cooking and pastry classes. Young guests can be inspired by the local way of life and reproduce their experiences through pottery and painting, bringing the region’s history and traditions to life.
Both centers are managed by the Wordwide Kids Company (WWKC), a renowned company in the training of childcare professionals. With the help of Costa Navarino, they offer a unique combination of the best activities for children, enabling the whole family to enjoy an extraordinary vacation. WWKC’s expertise joins the destination’s philosophy of creating experiences for the youngest that they will remember.
