🇬🇷 Kalamata, Town, Beach and Olives

Kalamata is a major town and beach resort in the Southern Peloponnese, Greece. Popular in the summer with holiday makers and vacationers, it is also busy as a commercial hub and shopping destination in the winter. About 3 hours drive from Athens, Kalamata can also be reached using Ktel busses. #athens #peloponnese #travel #greecetourism #greecetravel #greece #travelgreece #travelguide #kalamata The major attraction is the beach, but Kalamata also has the benefits of a Byzantine Castle, a Cathedral, a medieval old town, a modern commercial shopping area, a Marina and Harbour, and uniquely a Municipal Train park! If you are touring the Peloponnese, or perhaps looking for an extended day trip from Athens, then Kalamata is worth considering, with great transport links to Athens, via fantastic roads, for car or regular bus. The marina and Harbour are also a destination for sail boats in the summer, plying the coast and the Aegean. Ferries can also be taken to Crete from this Kalamata. The town is a good base for visiting the Mani Peninsula, Koroni or Sparta. The town is also famous of course for the Kalamata olives, eaten world wide. 😀Subscribe for more videos from us:    / @greeceexplored   00:00 Introduction 00:54 The Castle and Kalamata Town 02:01 The old town of Kalamata 04:32 The new town of Kalamata and Shopping 08:38: The Kalamata Municipal Railway Park 09:49 Kalamata Beach 11:30 The Marina and Conclusion
