I love this place as it is culture that I enjoy so much and crave for and will never have where I come from An evening in the square having a beer and a meal just watching the families talking and kids playing with all generations of people. How a city centre should be, just like a park but made of stone and concrete, full of life and happy smiling people enjoying life Love it !

Kalamata Municipal Railway Park

Reviewed By Famrave - Bristol, United Kingdom

Came across this my accident - municipal park near the docks - great cafe for coffee and cakes - and on display with no health and safety nonsense - about 10 classic Greek locomotives. It really is a trainspotters dream come true. Everything is open so there are signs of a slow steady decay - and there are no explanations or guidance of any sort - but you can get all that suff on line. Just enjoy being in the presence of true steam locomotive royalty!!
