Kalamata car hires from £4/day

You’ll certainly need a smallish car if you’re visiting the historic districts that form the original core of the town, like the Old City. The streets can get narrow and twisty here, so the more agile your car, the better. On the other side of the coin, if you want to drive out to one of the scenic beaches, then it would be a great idea to get a spacious MPV if you’re travelling as a group or a family. If you want to add a dash of classic Greek island romance to your visit, you can opt for a convertible or sports car and treat yourself.

In the city itself, the speed limit is 30mph, which is particularly enforced where the pedestrian streets meet ones that carry vehicular traffic. On the rural roads outside the city, you can travel at around 55mph. Motorways connecting the city with other parts of Messenia and the wider Peloponnese peninsula area have limits of around 75mph.

It won’t really be necessary to budget for parking costs in Kalamata, as free street parking is available all over the city. Just remember the pedestrian-only streets when planning your trips across town, as you won’t be able to get any kind of parking in those areas. You’ll be able to easily park in an adjacent street and walk from there in a few minutes.
