Kalamata
KALAMATA: the Heart of Messinia Beats in Kalamata
This city boasts the fragrance of sea breeze and olives.
Sweet smells pour up from the castle and the bell tower of the Church of the Presentation, pass over the tiled roofs of the Old City to the narrow streets and squares with the lively pulse of the entertainment, and reach the port and the cosmopolitan marina.
Kalamata is the city of bicycles, pedestrian streets and culture. It seduces you and makes you its faithful fan forever!
TIPS
Beach Life: The coastal Navarinou Street is ideal for endless walks, while on the 2.5 km long beach full of beach bars, umbrellas and sunbeds, one can take a bath without leaving the city.
Shopping: in the pedestrian Aristomenous Street / Alternative proposal: Buy silk shawls from the Nunnery of Kalamata.
Night Life: café-bars, clubs, nightclubs, winter and summer haunts – here you can find everything.
Yachting: marina of European standards, where you can berth your boat or rent one for mini cruises.
Accommodation proposal: stay for the night in the historic Rex Hotel – the oldest one in Kalamata. Now it is completely renovated, belongs to the 4 star category and adorns the city with its neoclassical beauty.
It is really worthy to reach the most interesting city corners, roaming the crowded streets and gazing at the churches and historical monuments, close to the walkways and buildings so rich in history.
