    The Foodphilosophy tour was a truly wonderful experience with unique tastes and lovely environment within the historical centre of Kalamata.
    The guide Dora welcomed us with a broad smile , gave us information about food tradition and custom I knew nothing about so everything was great, informative and tasty.
    Our group truly enjoyed the experience and I would definitely try it again .

    The tour was so organized and it was almost 3 hours and you don’t want to end! As a citizen from Kalamata, from the tour I learned many things that I didn’t know before. We tasted so many traditional local food from local stores and the fruit market. Through the walk to the historical center you learn some of the history of the town and of course from the local products from the wonderful guide Sophia! It’s the best food tour that I have ever seen!

    Was part of one of the evening food tours.
    Would highly recommend! Our guide took us around various food outlets in Kalamata, telling us stories and giving us tastings of the delicious treats.

    Would highly recommend!

    It was our first time at Kalamata and the idea of exploring the historical centre whilst tasting the local food attracted us immediately and it was a great experience. It’s not only about tasting traditional food but our wonderful guide Sophia told us a lot more about the Greek kitchen. The fact that they want to involve the local shop owners/manufacturers is a great initiative. We can highly recommend this food tour! We wish Georgia a lot of success with her company.
