We had a brilliant experience when we first arrived to Kalamata Airport with Dimitrios. He was on time and super friendly and nothing was too much trouble. He gave us loads of info about the area and took us via Pylos at no extra charge. We kept in touch during our stay as we weren't sure when we were going to return to the UK, and he was really laid back about us needing to change plans with lockdown happening. When we had to leave, we had the pleasure of Adonis driving us. We'd had to get everything organised last minute and he was super patient with us. We went all the way from φοινικουντα to Athens and the journey couldn't have been nicer. We even had a quick stop to see the Corinth Canal! We will definitely be back to the Peloponnese and we will absolutely be giving Dimitrios and Adonis a call! Thank you guys for everything :)

This little museum has uncommonly high standards of museumship and an extensive and varied collection. As the small public museums go, it's excellent.
