Kalamata

If Greece is the word, then Kalamata is the full stop - because it is simply breathtaking.

With crystal clear waters, golden beaches and unforgettable food, Greece's second largest city is one that deserves a place at the top of your list.

Start your day with a refreshing swim, then wander through the old town's quaint narrow lanes and charming local shops, before indulging in rich flavours in the small family run taverns.

Love the outdoors? No problem - there's ancient ruins, a historic castle, and marked trails with panoramic viewpoints.

Whether you are travelling as a family, a couple or taking a solo trip, the city offers something for everyone.

Add it to your list - you won't regret it.
