Highlights
In the western part of Messinia where the Ionian sea embraces the shore of Peloponnese, we hike the hill of Palaiokastro, the famous beach of Voidokilia and the lagoon of Yalova the southernmost station of migratory birds between Europe and Africa. The area being integrated into the environmental program natura 2000 is the largest wetland in southern Greece and offers shelter to wild migrating birds, which we may have the opportunity to observe. Here lives the endangered African chameleon while numerous birds such as herons, kestrels, aegean seagulls, flamingos, ospreys, royal eagles and other migratory and endemic birds take shelter at this hospitable and safe environment.

About Kalamata
Kalamata is the main city of Messenia in the southern Peloponnese, a seaside town below Mount Taygetus, known for its olives and olive oil.
Kalamata lies at the head of the Messenian Gulf, with the Taygetus range rising behind it. The old town below its 13th-century Frankish castle has narrow lanes, Byzantine churches and a railway park of old locomotives. It was among the first Greek towns to join the uprising of 1821, and its seafront is lined with palms and cafés.
