Last years thanks to Costa Navarino- Messinia and mainly Kalamata took the rank that deserves to the World Tourism Chart. Now, everyone knows Messinia. Another advantage to mention is that the road Athens - Kalamata is effectively improved; just two hours drive! These helped for the tourism development of Kalamata.
Messinia of course has much more to offer. Here there is no unbounded tourism development. Just for the history let me inform you that tourism development in the area began in the 80s because there were environmental conditions which were set since then. The result was the creation of remarkable hotels good in Kalamata and Messinia.
According the statistics Kalamata will be among the top tourist destinations in the world in the coming years!
