The Peloponnese region

Peloponnese (the south edge of mainland Greece) is the geographical department that displays a large number of historical sights, a rich partition of coasts, a hinterland with beautiful nature, villages with a remarkable arcitecture, developed cities and a high touristic infrastructure.

It boasts the largest and most spectacular concentration of ancient sites, including Mycenae, Epidavros, ancient Messini and Olympia, where the Olympic games were founded. Less known but equally fascinating are the many Byzantine (medieval) cities, churches and fortresses, including the hilltown of Mystras and the sea-rock of Monemvasia. The rugged Mani peninsula, central of the three ‘fingers’, positively bristles with towers and frescoed chapels. Or, if you fancy something more civilised, check out the elegant seaside town of Nafplion, with its narrow alleys, tiled houses, castles and festivals.

Those who prefer natural wonders to man-made will not be disappointed. The southerly mountain range of Taygetos offers breathtaking gorges, spring flowers and well-maintained mulepaths to link them. Some of Greece’s finest beaches can be found on the westren finger around Pilos, or along the endless pine-shaded strand that forms the west coast.

If someone is looking to visit just one part of Greece with a bit of everything, Peloponnese is certainly the place.

Kalamata / Verga beach area

Day trips can easily be arranged to many historical sites - Olympia, Mystras & Monemvasia to name but three. In Kardamili , 25 km (mentioned in Homer's The Iliad) there are numerous tavernas and good tourist shops as well as the site of Ancient Kardimili with a fascinating little museum.
This a popoular area with walkers on waymarked paths all over the Taygetos mountains.
You can also explore (by boat) the famous Diros caves, about 90 minutes driving.

Kalamata (7 km) is a lively, typical mediterranean city. The old town in the north is picturesque, full of cafes, farmer's restaurants and shops selling local products. The centre of the city has prestigious cafes and all kinds of modern shops. The sea front is 2.5 km long pebble beach full of cafes, bars, pizzerias, and night clubs. Walking on the sea front is a pleasure during the evenings. The town has many major super markets with all kind of products.

How to get there

• During the summer season there are direct charter flights into Kalamata airport. Car Hire can then be arranged for collection at Kalamata Airport, or a taxi to take you to your house. Car hire is recommended for your stay.

• Scheduled flights go daily to Athens airport from most large airports. (Olympic, British Airways, Easy Jet etc.) There are many car hire companies situated within the airport and collection is simple.

• From Athens to Kalamata by road takes approximtely three hours and is a straight forward route. The first half is Motorway, over Corinth Canal, and the rest is the equivalent of A roads. A further stretch of motorway is due to open next year.

• If you travel by car, you can reach us via ITALY (Venice, Ancona, Bari, Brindisi) and Patras (www.allgreekferries.com). Driving from Patras to Kalamata takes 2.5 hours.

Guestbook

The house with its magnificent view, nice garden and well designed interior was a pleasant surprise to us.
We enjoyed our stay very much!
For us, the culture as much as the breathtaking surrounding nature were more than we had expected to see.
The trip, for instance, to Mystras and Sparta in itself was worth the stay.
Definitely, we will return to Peloponnese once again and find our way into Kalamata, hopefully being able to return to this pleasant home as well.
Friso, Monique, Laura, Sophie (NL), May 2008
