Kalamata Trip Overview
You’ll marvel at the two-storey neo-Classical buildings and discover this city’s rich past, and our stroll will then take you through the small stone-paved alleys of the city’s historic centre, amid small shops bursting with local colours and aromas.
Upon entering the shops, the aroma of the exquisite herbs and spices wafting through the air will transport you to the top of Mt. Taygetos, the local mountain.
You’ll taste mouth-watering homemade cookies by a mama from Mani, flavoursome Messinian appetizers and all sorts of treats. What will most certainly blow you away, though, is a product made from sheep’s milk and served in a baking tray!
You’ll take part in a quick yet fulfilling olive-oil tasting with a professional and certified olive-oil connoisseur.
A light yet filling lunch will conclude your gastronomic experience and spoil your senses, in one of the cosiest restaurants in the heart of the city.
We can guarantee you that there’ll be no room left for anything else!
