A delicious moment thanks to the food but also the guide, the typical shops and the old city’s streets. A real travel through the Greek culture. I recommend the tour to discover and enjoy, the Messinian cuisine as well as Kalamata historical center.

Thank you so much for sharing with me the traditional food from Greece. I love Mediterranean style, way of life, Greek people, the variety of local products are amazing and really tasty. My favourite dish after this tour is “zucchini, potatoes, cheese pies” and of course, lalagi and olives as appetizers.

I had a great solo tour with Sofia this week in Kalamata. She and all of the vendors we visited are clearly very passionate about sharing family-made, high quality local food. So much food that I had to take a bunch of it home to snack on the next day! The tour was a great mix of food, history, and culture, and I highly recommend it.
