Kalamata is the capital and chief port of the Messinia
prefecture is the much-sung Kalamata, the land of the Kalamatianos dance and the
silk kerchief. The land of succulent black olives, honeyed figs and the sesame-covered
sweet called "pastelli". The town is dominated by the 13th century castle above
it built by Geoffrey de Villehardouin. On the north side of the citadel there
is a small Byzantine church, dedicated to the Virgin of Kalomata (of the good
eye), from which the town may have acquired its name. From the castle you can
survey the expanse of the sea below with its sandy and pebbly shores or turn your
gaze upon the deep green plain, the "happy land" of the ancients. The old city
is spread out underneath the castle. Every summer cultural events like concerts
and plays put on by the Kalamata theatre are held in the amphitheater of the castle.
In the evening, the town comes alive, especially along the waterfront, which is
lined with tavernas, seafood restaurants and rotisseries serving local dishes
and drinks, fresh fish, roast suckling pig and chicken, sausages, cheese, olives,
retsina and raki. Kalamata has an archaeological and folklore museum, a fine arts
museum and a library. |
