🇬🇷 Kalamata, Town, Beach and Olives
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- 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.
About 3 hours drive from Athens, Kalamata can also be reached using Ktel busses.

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 this 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.

I love Kalamata. My yiayia came from here and we were close growing up. We came here in 1999 and stayed in Greece for 9.5 weeks. Since then I have been back 5 more times (2009, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2022), and I absolutely love it. Thanks for showing the city's beauty! I wonder, did you make it to Kastraki in Verga?
I love Kalamata too, it is an hour +from where I luve and fab for shopping, I go there a fair bit. I am also near Nafplio and have done a couple of Vids there.... perhaps they all start to blend ..... I am slowly working my way round the Peloponnese, Patras and Corinth up next, maybe Kalamata at night and Mani in April.
Nice video..was there last summer..had so much fun..by the beach in town and shopping..😊
Thanks, I agree, very under-rated!
Great video!!
I’m from Kalamata and I live here for all my life!
your video is very very nice!!! ❤️
Great job!
Thank you, I am really glad that as a resident, you enjoyed!
I was last here living in 2001 glad to see the pavements have improved
Thanks for another great presentation of an interesting Peloponnese town. Kalamata looks very appealing, and its olives are my favorite. The historic context provided in your videos is what truly sets them apart. Again, well done!
Thank you, your feedback is really appreciated. To be honest I find local history fascinating, though I am really interested in Medieval and Bronze age, especially in Greece. There is so much here. I would put a lot more in but have found the Vids with less unfortunately seem to do better... I am learning and will hopefully get better with time. Next week is a shopping centre though.... so I am afraid not much historical context then!
Such a sweetie that beach cat 😊
Yes, was very friendly, there are many beach cats in Greece, they are all rather nice.
Very nice 👍👍👍👍 i am india 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing video of my home town Kalamata every thing thorough only one correction the building on the right at 8:05 is the government house not the university. Thanks again for the memories you brought back as i live overseas now .👍
Thank you, and much appreciated. Local knowledge is always best!! Glad you enjoyed.
Kalamata looks great ❤🇬🇷 thank you for sharing, mate 😃👍
Thank you, I am really glad you enjoyed, it is a great place.

It looks a beautiful place, no mass market British bars littered on the seafront.
Awesome video ❤
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!!
Nice video of a lovely town!
Thanks, be a good place to cycle too I think!
@@GreeceExplored Yes indeed, the whole Peloponnese is an ideal cycling destination, especially in spring and autumn!
I love Kalamata
Totally under-rated and a fab location for exploring from too. Thanks for you comment as well!
Nice video! We're heading to Kalamata in a week.
Glad you enjoyed, I have another video on Kalamata this Friday, nightlife. It is a good place, you will enjoy Kalamata! Have a good trip
Great video, thank you.
So glad you enjoyed and thank you for commenting
Brilliant presentation lad!
Thank you. I really appreciate that.
Great video
Thank you. Comments are really appreciated. I am really glad you enjoyed, took me effort to make that one!
I'm coming down from the castle into the old town of Nafplio? You mean Kalamata? 🤔 they are 2 hrs apart
I am pleased you watched the vid...lol, maybe too many places on my mind
Enjoyed the video. Family is there. Only comment is camera movies to far and fast. Hard to watch
you are right, thanks for the input, I am always trying to learn and improve.
I got a hotel in Athens. How would I get to Kalamata? Is there a train or bus that can take me to this destination? Thanks!
you want a Ktel bus from Kifisos, the main bus station. Ktel are the national network of busses, and run several times a day to Kalamata. Probably take about 3.5 hours with a few stops on the way
I thought Patra would have the best shopping in the Peloponnese
Perhaps, but Kalamata is really good
We're thinking about going in May 2024 or June. What is the weather like in Kalamata and other nearby areas? Would we be able to get into the water? Is the water too cold at that time?
Weather will be fine, 25 to 35c, and the water will be warming up. We always start swimming in May, some start earlier than that. The water will not be like August, but once in, will be fine. Great time to go as you avoid the real heat and the crowds and the prices.
@@GreeceExplored thanks!
january in kalamata and everybody wearing summer clothes
Yep, the weather is mixed at that time of year, but often even in the low 20's
bro your camera movement needs sorted. Stop moving the camera around so much keep it smoother! please felt car sick watching it
I agree actually, something I am trying to improve. Thanks for the useful, (if embarrassing) feedback.
@@GreeceExplored Ill be in Kalamata in a month time and Im also a content creator. The video commentary was great though and the video was interesting. Get a stabilizer and your content will be epic and your channel will do very well indeed, no doubt about it. Dont be discouraged of embarrassed cause this slight adjustment will be all you need.
Im looking forward to seeing more content in the future.
Im comin to Athens mate end of feb/mar
Will my usual shorts,vests,flipflop ensamble suffice or will it be chilly?
Great vids Andrew very informative for me,wont be in Athens totally Clueless 👍
It won't likely be cold, but it depends on your perspective! temperatures will typically be 15c to 20c during the day, and a bit chillier at night. Last year we had snow in February in Athens, but this isn't very common. Enjoy your visit!!
@@GreeceExplored thanks,sounds good to me
@@GreeceExplored True. And Kalamata has even less snow than Athens!
