Kalamata is the main city and port of Messenia region, in the southwestern part of Peloponnese, Greece.
Kalamata is one of the most fortunate cities in Greece, mostly thanks to its geographic position. At the apex of the blue Messinian Bay and at the foot ofBelow the city center is the coast. In the summer, the coast of Kalamata bustles with life, both during the day when the long coastline fills with bathers and at night, when young people fill the clubs. The port of Kalamata was once the center of the town's commercial and industrial development when it used to connect to all the Mediterranean centers. Navarinou Street, to the east of the port, is the "coast" for locals and the citizen's resort. At any time of the day or night, you will see groups of people strolling and talking by the sea.
On foot
Kalamata is very pedestrian-friendly. Since 2006, many pedestrian-only streets have been constructed around "Vasileos Georgiou" square (mainly known as "Aristomenous" square). Moreover, the vast majority of the historical center's streets are pedestrian only. It takes approximately 20 minutes to reach Navarinou street (Kalamata's coastal street) on foot, starting from the historical center.
By bus
Kalamata provides a cheap bus network. Line 1 starts from Kalamata's bus terminal, passes through most of Kalamata's main streets, such as Aristomenous, Faron and Navarinou, and reaches the Filoxenia hotel.
By bicycle
Kalamata has recently constructed a bicycle path starting from the town's market and passing through the historical center, Nedontos street (outside the town hall), "Vasileos Georgiou" square, the train Park, Limeniko (port) Park of Limeniko and Navarinou street. The bicycle path ends at Anastasi church. A 3 km extension is planned to connect the existing bicycle path with the town's marina and the Kordias sports complex. Furthermore, an automated rent-a-bike system is going to be installed.
