Driving Guide & Places To Go in Kalamata

Kalamata is said to have been built in one of the most beautiful locations in Greece, at the head of a wide bay and below a statuesque mountain; Mount Taygetos. The centre of the city is very tourist friendly with the old town being completely pedestrianized.

The buildings of the centre are a trip through time with some dating back almost eight hundred years. Begin at Saint Apostles, a small church built in the early 14th century and which has a long history linked with the city.

The Benakei Archaeological Museum is as memorable for its setting as for its exhibits. Built in Venetian style in the 18th century it holds several unique exhibits including precious mosaics.

Kalamata Castle on the hill above the city has a fabulous view and below it you’ll find the Temple of St John whose age is indeterminate but believed to pre-date the Byzantine Empire. Inside, it’s huge and whilst plain, has a serene atmosphere. It’s believed to have been part of the ancient city of Pharai, long disappeared from the face of the earth.
