Hello, my name is Telia and I would love to be your compass in my hometown for a day! I really enjoy sharing my passion for the history of our ancient cities. My hometown Kalamata belongs to the region of Peloponnese. The Peloponnese has so many beautiful things to see. All the ancients cities are around, like the Ancient Messene, Mystras, Olympia, and more. For those who prefer nature, the Peloponnese is full of hidden caves, Diro's Caves in Mani, and waterfalls like Polylimnio. Hidden beaches are all over Kalamata also. I can take you to swim and sightsee in the most famous and beautiful ones. I know all the secrets and the hidden beauties and I look forward to show them to you! I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of the historical monuments.

Welcome to the beautiful city of Kalamata, the city of sea, sun and history. The area of Kalamata's castle and Monastery is the neighbor where I grew up. As children, we used to play inside the monastery and the nuns who found us hiding would give us treats and advise us to go home before dark. We would steal oranges from the trees and they would smile patiently and rejoice that their space was filled with children's voices and joy. We could understand even then the historicity and antiquity that weighed on the buildings around us and our respect was great for these women who were the guardians of the traditions and customs of the place where we were growing up.
The tour starts from Costa Navarino and in less than an hour we will be in Kalamata. Other things that we will see are: - The Old Castle where Princess Isabeau lived - A Byzantine church at the base of the castle (inside a cave) - The hospital of 1821 - Saint George's church, built in Venetian period - The Monastery of Nuns that used to be famous for its silk scarves - Saint Konstantine and Helen Byzantine church - The Byzantine church of Saint Char
