Grecotel Filoxenia resort sits on the amazing Messinian gulf occupying a large stretch of beach, at the outskirts of Kalamata town. Beautiful palm gardens & pathways adorn the premises & the terracotta framed swimming pool. All rooms are sea facing, light and airy. Some open up to the palm gardens with their own sunloungers. Others are full of sea views or the dreary Mount Taygetos. A breathtaking destination of old Greece with unparallel beaches and endless olive groves, Kalamata town in itself is an architectural gem. Some of the most notable sites include Ancient Messini (37km), the Byzantine towns Methoni & Koroni, the incredible Taygetos mountain with its multitude of villages, gorges and natural wonders. The Mani coastal towns are a great discovery for their traditional cuisine and the lovely coves & beaches. Kalamata is famous around the world over for its black Kalamata olives and the extra virgin olive oil. The Kalamata airport is 15 km away.
