Car Rental in Kalamata
Kalamata is famous as the town of olive trees, and as the gateway to Mani. The airport, railway terminus, major sea port, and bus station make it a transportation hub and gateway to all the surrounding area, and a good portion of the southern Peleponese. It has ferry service regularly in the summer to Crete. It is possible to get transportation anywhere in the area, and often ad hoc tours to places off the main tourist routes. There is nowhere in the southern Peleponese that has more transportation options. It has hotels ranging from hovels in more questionable parts of town, to four-star hotels by the seaside. It is a great jumping off place for the rest of the southern Peleponnesos, and for the Messinian bay in particular.
Kalamata Olives are featured in finer restaurants around the world, but it has other culinary distinctions. The area to the south has various honeys that have been praised by travelers back to the French Morea expeditions of the 1700's. Honey from the region is held in high regard even today. Honey was used in Roman times for treatment of hysteria and other ailments, and in the area today it has some reputation for enhancing romance.
