Kalamata

We drove from Mesolongi to Kalamata via Olympia today. We crossed the amazing
Rio - Antirrio bridge, near Patras, linking the Peloponnese to the mainland.
The bridge spans the Gulf of Corinth and links the Peloponnesian town of Rio to the mainland town of Antirrio. This impressive cable-stayed bridge is one of the world's longest multi-span bridges, and is a landmark of modern Greek engineering.

We also followed an ancient tractor towing crates of luscious juicy grapes.

Our apartment in Kalamata is amazing - right in the centre of the city and close to spectacular main square and also the markets. The only drawback is the need to take two lifts to get to our floor. The lifts are very old and very small. The three of us were very close during lift journeys.

The town is full of great restaurants. It was great to catch up with Karen and Kerry again.Læs mere
