A sunny summer destination without crowds. We will fly directly from Poland

Although Greece has been among Poles’ favorite destinations for years, more and more tourists choose places off the beaten path. Kalamata, located in the southern Peloponnese, can delight those looking for a holiday destination with authentic character. The city combines spectacular nature, thousands of years of history and local character. This summer season, the TUI travel agency launched charters from Warsaw and Katowice in this direction.

Greece without crowds

“Kalamata is a response to the growing trend of searching for authentic holiday destinations that combine seaside relaxation with cultural and historical richness. The Southern Peloponnese offers everything that a modern tourist is looking for – beautiful beaches, top-class monuments, unique cuisine and contact with the real Greece. We are glad that we can offer this destination to our customers as a novelty in the offer for Summer 2026.” – says Jarosława Pleśniarska, Product Department, TUI Poland

Beautiful beaches in Greece

The Southern Peloponnese offers some of the most beautiful beaches in Greece – both those with extensive infrastructure and wild, almost unknown ones. Kalamata’s main beach stretches for over 2 km along the bay and is Blue Flag certified. The real gems of the region include Voidokilia beach, considered one of the most beautiful in Europe – a perfect semicircle of golden sand surrounded by dunes. In the background for most of the season are the peaks of the Taygetos Mountains – a sight you won’t find anywhere else in Greece.

History at your fingertips: from Sparta to Olympia

Kalamata is a great base for exploring ancient Greece. Within a radius of approximately 100-130 km there are places such as Mycenae, Sparta, Epidaurus and Olympia. In the immediate vicinity of the city there is also ancient Messina – an impressive archaeological complex that is still less known than other Greek monuments.

Olive Basin of the world

The Kalamata area is one of the most important olive growing regions in the world. Olive groves stretch to the horizon here – some of them are several hundred, and some even over a thousand years old. Olive trees in the Peloponnese are grown using methods passed down from generation to generation, and harvesting is traditionally done by hand. Local mills – some operating for over 120 years – are open to visitors and offer cold-pressed olive oil tastings. The Koroneiki variety, grown in this region, is one of the most valued extra virgin olive oils in the world.
