KALAMATA

Παρουσίαση

Kalamata means olive groves and sea, memories of a Byzantine past, modern views of a tranquil life, history, a picturesque centre and neoclassical architecture. It means tradition and modern times, nature and culture, sports, entertainment and recreation. The author, Tina Koutsoubou, an admirer of Kalamata and Messinia, leads the reader round the city, presenting all the sights that should not be missed, such as the old parts of the city -around the castle and Ypapanti- and the new central square with its beautiful cafes and the magnificent clean beaches. In this pocket guide, the author suggests restaurants, cafes and hotels that suit every possible taste, as well as the immediate countryside including especially beautiful excursions which tempt us to explore them.
Finally, she documents all the useful information relating to local product markets, our walks in the city and the city's events, informing us with her own personal style. (From the publisher)
