Hotels Near Aristomenous Square in Kalamata

I've just come back from another enjoyable holiday at Garden City. We stayed at apartment 606 which had a great view of the pool and was impeccably maintained and cleaned. The last visit (of many) was in January 2023, the pool was warm and well supervised by a very attentive Lifeguard. We enjoyed a warm welcome at the pool bar from all the staff there. The food was excellent. The sandwiches are probably much bigger than you would expect and are a meal in themselves. The apartment complex is very conveniently located for the beaches from Troya to la Pinta. There is a choice of restaurants on the doorstep, a small but well stocked shop near the complex entrance and a larger supermarket at San Eugeno shopping centre within very easy walking distance. I have no hesitation in recommending Garden City , especially for couples and families. Personally we use a taxi to come and go to the airport, the queues are not onerous and the fare around 25 euros each way. Reception can however arrange for a minibus transport to the airport if you book it a day before, which would be especially suitable for groups of four or more. Booked next visit before leaving , been there about 20 times Only gripe is sunbeds which are routinely ”reserved” by putting towels on them all day but not using them all day. However in quieter months then there are sufficient sunbeds. Its a non issue for me as I seldom use them. There's an upper pool too, which is not heated to the same level, which is a bit chilly for January but great for March to October (imo). There's plenty of sunbeds there but you'll have to walk a short distance to the pool bar.

We booked 2 rooms next to each other, one had a huge balcony where we could jointly drink an aperitif. Rooms are nicely decorated, beds are good. Big pool with a separate pool for the younger kids. The beach is just outside the hotel area where you could use the sunbeds and parasols from the hotel and there is service offered as well. Excellent breakfast buffet, fresh fruit, juice and everything you wish for. Hotel is just outside the busy area, however close enough to the interesting places in town. Staff in general is really great and gentle, especially the ladies from the reception which were extremely helpful. We were offered a late check out before heading back to Athens airport. This was the cherry on the cake!

Fabulous hotel in a quiet location. Rooms lovely, we had a large balcony which was not overlooked. The towels and bed linen changed regularly. The pool area is great, really comfortable sunbeds and plenty of them. Generally quiet around the pool and the lovely staff bring jugs of iced water to you all day, which which is a very welcome touch. Location great with many restaurants within easy walking distance. Local bus is great for visiting Kalamata town centre which is worth a visit. We had a car for a couple of days and visited Stoupa, lovely fishing village and ancient town of Messini. Recommend Da Luz to eat in.

A hotel with good value for money, the breakfast restaurant is smaller, the choice is relatively small, the service is enthusiastic, the room is small, but clean and tidy, with complete facilities, which is quite satisfactory.
