Kalamata is a very interesting city with so many things to do and places to visit.
Take your time to enjoy the sights but also to sample what we believe is among the best food in Greece. One of our friends here in Kalamata expressed it correctly: Kalamata is the culinary capital of Greece! And we could not agree more. During our active time here in the city we have eaten in many many restaurants although we do have our favourites!!!
When a quick souvlaki is needed we always go to Ladolemono in the old historical part. When our friends and family are visiting we take them to Thiasos which caters from a simple ouzo with meze to traditional dishes. Of course, there are so many restaurants and taverns that are worth mentioning, that we loose count! You can find more information on the bottom of this blog.
So, have you ever wondered how a regular Kalamatian person spends their days during the hot summer? When on vacation, the daily routine is almost the same: wake up, eat a small breakfast, go to the beach, eat lunch with the family – almost always homecooked meals – sleep for a couple of hours, afternoon coffee with friends or an afternoon swim, and the obligatory evening exodus. I think that this is similar to almost any part of Greece.
We do have our favourite coffee spots as well. Check below for our suggestions!
