Kalamata and the Peloponnese region are a year-round destination full of natural treasures as well as historic legacy and complete Greek spirit, and are located in the southeastern part of Greece. Beach enthusiasts, culture treasurers or nature explorers, every season has something special to offer. Using TransferMe for private transfers, getting around in such diversity is easy and hassle-free, wherever you go and whenever you choose.
Spring (March-May): Flowers, Customs and Spring Weather
It is a magical spring in Kalamata and the Peloponnese. The climate is comfortably warm, the hills are covered with wildflowers, and historic attractions are not thronged with the peak summer crowd. One of the most exquisite cultural phenomena you could ever get the opportunity to witness is Easter in Greece, which is usually celebrated in the month of April with lit-up candles, festivities, and communal gatherings.
Ancient ruins of Messene, the olive plantations of Kalamata and mountain villages such as Artemisia or Kastania have to be visited. It is a good time to take the Taygetus Mountain hikes or take a TransferMe chauffeur to feel the scenic routes through the flowering valleys.
Summer (June-August): Sun, Sea and Celebrations
There is a reason why summer is the high season for travelling. The coastline of Peloponnese has clear water that is warm and appealing, and the beach front of Kalamata is vibrantly active. Get ready to encounter sunshine, al-fresco tavernas and high-spirited festivals such as the Kalamata International Dance Festival in July.
There are the famous Voidokilia Beach, Foneas Beach of Kardamyli and Finikounda as beach destinations. Going on a day trip to the most distant beaches or summer villages is not a problem with TransferMe, as their private transfers do not rely on short bus schedules and the pressure of finding parking in areas with no space.
Autumn (September-November): Crops and Calmness
Arguably, autumn is less appreciated in the place. The sea is still warm, people have dispersed, and it is harvest time. The local rhythm is marked by the olive and grape harvesting season, which is ideal for agrotourism seekers or any other individual seeking a better experience.
Visit wine farms outside of Nemea or go through olive oil and wine tasting in Messinia. The fall is also a good season to take photos and to hike, i.e. in Mani or Polilimnio Waterfalls. This beautiful time of the year should be spent exploring unconquered roads with TransferMe.
Winter(December-February): Culture + Mountain Escapes
The Peloponnese is quiet in winter, and although Kalamata has relatively mild weather, the mountain villages and ski resorts provide a different view. Such resorts as Kalavryta or Arcadia can offer a warm atmosphere, guesthouses made of stone and mountainous scenery with snowcapped mountains.
It is the perfect time to immerse in this cultural environment, visit monuments, museums, monasteries, and archaeological sites without the summer heat. Transport options offered by TransferMe are safe and winter-ready, even in distant villages or in areas covered with snow.
