The seaside town of Koroni provides an ideal getaway from Kalamata. Your transport is all sorted so you can use your free time as you wish – exploring the town, hopping from café to taverna or strolling along the seafront promenade with an ice cream in your hand.
Once ruled by the Venetians, Koroni was a stopping point for ships on their way to the Middle East, and as you wander round, you'll notice a few reminders of its Italian past. Its Venetian port is lined with tavernas churning out a range of straight-off-the-grill dishes, while the fortress in the distance still keeps an eye on the town.
Enjoy your free time at your own leisure, but be sure to stop by the main square, overlooked by the church, and stroll along courtyards festooned with flowers of all colours. All the while, you'll glimpse views over Messinia Bay and find plenty pastry shops ready to tempt you in.
