Send Flowers to Kalamata, Greece

Olives made the name of Kalamata known around the world, and the groves still surround this bright city at the head of the Messenian Gulf in the southern Peloponnese, in the far south of mainland Greece. The old quarter sits below a hilltop castle, near the church of Ypapanti, whose feast on 2 February is the main local celebration. From there the town runs in straight lines down to Navarinou, the long seafront avenue, with the wall of Mount Taygetos to the east.

Messinia has a long history of emigration, particularly to the United States, Canada and Australia, and many families here have close relatives overseas. They send flowers for name days, Easter visits they cannot make, and summer weddings. The climate is mild in winter and hot in summer, and the city hosts a well-known international dance festival each July.

Flower delivery in Kalamata is next day, Monday to Saturday, for orders received before midnight local time. A local florist prepares the arrangement by hand. There is no delivery on Sundays or main public holidays.
