About this property
Situated to the east of Kalamata city, this 3-bedroom villa enjoys a spectacular ocean outlook and offers ample space for up to six guests. The ideal base for exploring the historical sights of the region, Villa Kalamata makes the most of its stunning location with a private infinity pool and hot tub.
The villa’s panoramic sea view is highly visible throughout the property. Large, open spaces surround the pool area, where you have a separate hot tub and a covered area with a summer kitchen, a barbecue and a dining table and chairs.
A spacious lawn area lies just outside the interior living space, accessible by large sliding doors which exhibit the ocean perfectly. Inside you have a comfy sofa and massage chair, another dining space and a traditional-style lounge with a TV, fireplace and antique furnishings. A good-sized kitchen forms part of the same open-plan space, and has a dishwasher, large fridge freezer and everything else you may need.
The villa features three bedrooms – two doubles with direct access to the terrace, and a twin which can be used as a double. An extra-large bathroom with a huge corner bath is a particular treat, and also has a large vanity unit with double sinks and a full-length mirror.
This charming property is within a short drive of the city of Kalamata, one of the most populous areas of the Peloponnese. It’s a great place to discover local history, cuisine and culture, with a rich dining scene and regular events taking place each year. The city offers beaches and a relaxed waterfront district as well as shopping and entertainment.
It’s also within driving distance of Messini, where you can discover remnants of life as it was in ancient times. Further west is more fascinating ruins at the Palace of Nestor, and the horseshoe-shaped beach of Voidokilia – a particularly scenic and photogenic one.
On southern Greece’s Costa Navarino, the city of Kalamata is famed for its olive production, but there is much more culinary goodness to discover. The agora, or market, is a good place to start, where you can get your hands on fresh, local produce twice a week, and there are many excellent cafés and bakeries serving up the traditional treats of the region. Be sure to try some Greek wine with dinner, too. Kalamata’s excellent restaurants will make dining out every night a pleasure.
In July, the acclaimed Kalamata International Dance Festival is a 10-day showcase of contemporary dance, both professional and amateur. For year-round culture, the city’s historic quarter has impressive museums of archaeology and traditional Greek costume. When you are done with the town, you can easily head into the mountains or to one of the seaside villages lining the coast.
Around 45 minutes’ drive from Kalamata, Ancient Messini’s ruins and extensive fortification walls put it on a par with Olympia in the eyes of some. You will find the remains of an amphitheatre and mausoleum there, among other buildings, and these are just some of the historical sights the region has in store for you. Bassae’s Temple of Apollo is a fine example of classical architecture, while the Palace of Nestor is an elaborate Mycenaean palace referred to as ‘sandy Pylos’ in Homer’s Odyssey, of which Nestor was once king.
Nature lovers can enjoy a visit to the Gialova lagoon, one of Europe’s most important wetlands, or Voidokilia Beach. One of the Mediterranean’s most beautiful beaches, it is distinctive due to its horseshoe-like shape. The close proximity of the two means you can experience both in one day.

Villa Kalamata is situated in a wonderful peaceful location near Kalamata. Close enough to the city for comfort and places to see but peacefully on the hill surrounded by olive trees with an quiet unspoiled view of the sea. The hosts live in the appartment above the villa but ensure you get full privacy at all times. They are very welcoming and made us feel like family. The lightly salted infinity pool with great views is perfect for a relaxing holiday. The house is very clean, comfortable and convenient. We would love to come back again.
