navarino

Navarino is 'n eienaam wat na 'n dorp in die suidweste van Griekeland verwys. Die dorp is bekend vir sy natuurlike hawe, wat die plek was van 'n beroemde vlootgeveg wat in 1827 tussen die geallieerde vlote van Brittanje, Frankryk en Rusland teen die Ottomaanse Ryk geveg is. Die geveg, wat ook bekend staan as die Slag van Pylos, het geëindig in 'n beslissende oorwinning vir die Geallieerdes en het 'n beduidende rol in die Griekse Vryheidsoorlog gespeel.
