What to expect

Messene, one of the best-preserved cities from ancient Greece, needs to be on your radar while in Kalamata. You'll spend the morning unearthing its history with a guide, while making your way around a whole catalogue of sites, including the Arcadian Gate, theatre, sanctuaries and temples.

The archaeological site of ancient Messene is unique in that it wasn't destroyed, so your attention will be torn between all the things to see as you wander around. Its vast size will be the first thing you'll notice on entering – add to that a picturesque setting in a fertile valley, and you'll have no problem imagining life in ancient Messene.

Star attractions include the stadium and a theatre that held about 10,000 spectators. There are sanctuaries, temples, houses, baths and dining halls to see, and new additions are being uncovered every year, including a round temple complete with mosaics. There'll also be a photo stop at the Arcadian Gate before free time to explore.

Full Day Boat Tour to Zante with Smuggler's Cove

Pick-up any postcard of Zante and it's likely that Smuggler's Cove sits front and centre on it. Discover the soaring cliffs and shipwreck ruins of this famous bay during a full day boat cruise. Along the way, there'll be plenty of swimming and sunbathing, a stop at the Blue Caves, plus free time to explore the pretty port of Agios Nikolaos. Eleni, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Be prepared to be dazzled by the sea around the Blue Caves, which seems to glow electric blue because the white limestone underneath the waves reflects the sun through the azure water.' The best part of this cruise is that you'll get to catch all of Zante's top coastal bits in one relaxing boat trip. After sailing over from Kyllini Port we'll kick off with a swim stop at dazzling Xigia beach. Sailing by windmills and white cliffs against the turquoise sea, we'll then head for Smuggler's Cove for a photo stop. Back in the 80s, a ship carrying contraband cigarettes ran aground in this chalk-white cove. What's left is a fantastic photo-op - Zante's best-known beach is one of the most photographed spots in the whole of Greece.After pausing to admire the Blue Caves, there's another swim stop at a secluded beach before heading ashore for some free time in the teeny fishing port of Agios Nikolaos. It's a sleepy kind of place with a couple of tempting beaches and one or two tavernas. You'll have free time here to try some meze, or just simply swim and sunbathe before the return cruise.
