🇬🇷 9 Reasons You Need to Visit Kalamata Greece (from Athens)

Kalamata is a major town and beach resort in the Southern Peloponnese, Greece.
Popular in the summer with holiday makers and vacationers, it is also busy as a commercial hub and shopping destination in the winter.

The major attraction is the beach, but Kalamata also has the benefits of a Byzantine Castle, a Cathedral, a medieval old town, a modern commercial shopping area, a Marina and Harbour, and uniquely a Municipal Train park!
If you are touring the Peloponnese, or perhaps looking for an extended day trip from Athens, then Kalamata is worth considering, with great transport links to Athens, via fantastic roads, for car or regular bus. The marina and Harbour are also a destination for sail boats in the summer, plying the coast and the Aegean.
Ferries can also be taken to Crete from Kalamata. The town is a good base for visiting the Mani Peninsula, Koroni or Sparta.
The town is also famous of course for the Kalamata olives, eaten world wide.

[@tpop3723]

Surprised to see the lack of graffiti considering how ubiquitous it is in Greece but are the shopping options even better than Patras?

[@GreeceExplored]

I think the shopping is a good as Patras, I prefer it because I find it easier to navigate, and as you say, they look after the place.
