Kalamata Airport (KLX) is relatively small but one of the busiest airports of the Peloponnese, serving as the international gateway for tourism in the southern regions of Greece. Car hire at Kalamata Airport is a good option for exploring the area as opposed to public transport as the bus serving the airport only runs regularly to Kalamata, meaning many other destinations require a car or taxi. Kalamata Airport car hire therefore may well be economical, especially if you are travelling as a group and will give you the freedom to reach other destinations in the region.
Kalamata Airport sits between Kalamata and Messene on the GR-82 national road. You can easily connect to this single carriageway road with your hire car from the airport. The road stretches for around 70 miles, connecting with Pylos and Sparta via Kalamata. The route from the airport will take around 10min to Kalamata, passing along the Enotiki A7 road. You can also explore the nearby beaches at Verga and Avia within a 10-mile radius and enjoy the vibrant tourist scene or take in the small historic town of Messini. Visit the traditional mountain villages on the western slopes of Mount Taygetos from Sparta on the road to the city, which is noted as the most beautiful road in Greece.
Be aware of local speed limits to avoid any extra charges with your car hire at Kalamata Airport. It is also advisable to carry some loose change for the toll roads you may come across. Roads are usually well-signposted, and you can find free parking areas in most cities. You can also rent GPS systems with your Kalamata Airport car hire if preferred. On your return, also bear in mind that many petrol stations in Greece close at 20:00 if you are outside the larger cities, so if you need to re-fill your tank, make sure to do it within these times. There is also a Shell Station outside the airport and a cheaper alternative around half a mile down the road.
Busy times at Kalamata Airport tend to fall around the afternoon period when many package holiday flights are scheduled. Try to avoid the rush by arriving in the morning or evening slots if possible.
