Sara our tour guide was excellent! She loves Kalamata and the beautiful food and family history in this area! She gave us alot of information on the local markets and culture in the region. Food feeds your soul! Thank you for dancing with us and making us laugh all morning. We left with full bellies, don’t eat beforehand! Thank you Sara!!!

This experience is not to be missed if you’re visiting Kalamata - it really made my stay there unforgettable! From the countless exquisite specialities (both food & beverages) that you’ll get to taste during the tour, to the fantastic kindness and patience that Sofia displays, together with the friendliness of all the passionate shop tenants you’ll meet along the way: everything was perfect! Prepare your stomachs as it’s totally worth the price, you’ll leave feeling full for the day - even vegetarians, who will feel well catered for, just like I was :)

A feast for the senses

We loved Sofia and her knowledge of the city. Also her connection to the vendors and artisans in Kalamata made it very enjoyable. Great food, wine, cheese and company. Delicious olive oil! Highly recommend it.
