DO YOURSELF A FABOUR... - We had a really enjoyable tour with Dora as our guide. She is contagipus with good humour and full of the history of Kalamata. Skipping breakfast is a must! We all enjoyed meeting the staff from the speciality shops and hearing their stories. This is a tour full of warmth, the pride in which people have perfected their craft is obvious and the joy of sharing their food with us added to the great food festival of this tour.

A must do in Kalamata - Sofia is very knowledgeable and passionate about the food and culture of Kalamata. The food and drinks we got to taste were absolutely delicious. We went back to buy some of the goods! The pace was unhurried, jovial and one treat after the next. The photos Sofia took of us will always remind us of wonderful time we had. Hope others get to enjoy the same experience

Kalamata food tour - My husband and I really enjoyed the food tour. Many of our stops were family owned businesses. Sweets, farmers market, bakery, smoked meats…. All were delicious and every shop owner went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Our tour guide Dora was also very knowledgeable in herbs and the history of Kalamata. Highly recommend the tour.

- Booking was simple & easy with Sofia. Sara was our tour guide for the day. She was welcoming, friendly, funny & informed. We enjoyed walking (not too much) around the Kalamata market area. We tried various foods at many shops. Everyone & everything was a delight! Thank you.

Quick insight into Greek cuisine - The food tour was really interesting because you got to visit many different small traditional businesses. From a bakery to a butcher, a beekeeper, and even a market, it was very diverse. What I also particularly liked was that it wasn't a sales event; you never felt pressured to buy anything. It's highly recommended for a quick insight into Greek cuisine.
