With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Kalamata, 18 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Almyros Beach, Mikri Mantinia Beach and Public Library of Kalamata. Located 35 miles away, East Mani is another popular option. If you swing by, be sure to check out Diros Caves, Church of Agios Ioannis and Pikoulakis Tower House Museum.
