Navarino Natura Hall

Stockholm University, the Academy of Athens, the Hellenic Ornithological Society (the Greek partner of BirdLife International), the Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association (HELMEPA) and Navarino Foundation, together with the Hellenic Postbank, operate the Navarino Natura Hall by Hellenic Postbank exhibition center in Costa Navarino.

Navarino Natura Hall by Hellenic Postbank provides a unique insight into the rich and diverse environment of Messinia, with interactive features to let visitors ‘experience’ the Messinian flora and fauna and inspirational content that also highlight Costa Navarino’s commitment to environmental responsibility. The centre allows visitors, university students, local schools and the public to familiarise themselves with environmental protection issues. It is also committed to encouraging participation in the global effort to tackle climate change, while presenting the results of the research programs being carried out at Navarino Environmental Observatory (NEO). Special programs will be carried out in the center for children combining games with knowledge.

An exhibition of the winner of the Navarino Natura Art Award will be held each year in the permanent exhibition space ‘Natura Art’ within Navarino Natura Hall by Hellenic Postbank. This international annual award established through the collaboration of Kalfayan Galleries (Athens-Thessaloniki), the NGO Organization Earth and Navarino Foundation, aspires to become a dynamic platform which will address contemporary environmental themes through art.
