Kalamata in Greece is Messinia’s capital and the second largest city in the Peloponnese. Known largely as a working seaport and for its olive production, most travellers rush through on their way to somewhere else, if they even spend time here at all. But is Kalamata really worth visiting? Is it really worth slowing down and spending some time in? The short answer is a resounding yes! Travellers who give it a chance will discover it has so much more to offer than a first glance would suggest.
