What to Do in Kalamata in 5 Days
Kalamata is the ideal base to explore Messinia. In 5 days you can combine the energy of the city, the history of the castles and the magic of Mani. The key to catching it all without stress is proper organization and the autonomy of your own vehicle.
Day 1: Getting to Know the City
Start your first day relaxed in Kalamata. Visit the Castle and the Historic Center in the morning. In the afternoon, enjoy a stroll along the vast coastal promenade of Navarino and sample local flavors at one of the dozens of taverns.
Day 2: Road Trip to Messinian Mani
Get in the car and drive south. First stop in the beautiful Kardamyli for coffee and a stroll through the stone alleys. Continue for a swim at Kalogria (Stoupa) and end your day with lunch at the picturesque harbor of Agios Nikolaos.
Day 3: The Castles of the West (Pylos & Methoni)
A route full of history. Head to Pylos to see Niokastro and the view of Navarino Bay. Then, drive another 15 minutes to Methoni to walk to its iconic castle with Bourtzi in the sea.
Day 4: Nature and Adventure (Polylimnio & Voidokilia)
The day of “natural beauty”. In the morning, visit Polylimnio for a hike to the waterfalls. At noon, drive to the famous Voidokilia beach to enjoy its turquoise waters and unique shape.
Day 5: Ancient Messina & Return
Before saying goodbye to Messinia, pay a visit to Ancient Messina. It is one of the largest and best-preserved archaeological sites in Greece, in a landscape that will take your breath away.
Why do you need a car for this 5-day trip?
To do this itinerary, you will need to cover several kilometers in different directions (Mani in the east, Pylos in the west, Ancient Messina in the north). Waiting for buses or the cost of taxis would make the trip tiring and expensive.
