Practical info

Before you go

How do I get to Kalamata?

Direct flights land at Kalamata Airport (KLX) in season, including seasonal routes from Amsterdam (Transavia) and Düsseldorf (Eurowings). Outside the season, fly into Athens and continue by car or domestic connection. See our flight and pricing notes.

How do I book an experience?

Fill in the booking form on the experience’s page. We’ll follow up by email to confirm the details and date.

When’s the best time to visit?

May through October is high season; olive harvest runs October to January. September is busier and pricier than you’d expect, because it overlaps with the Greek domestic holiday season.
