Kalamata - Villehardouins Castle Áyios Konstantínos

Above the town of Kalamáta is the castle of the Villehardouins. At the foot of the hill stands the convent of Áyios Konstantínos, occupied by nuns who make hand-woven silks. In the Kyriákos House is a museum displaying items of local interest, mainly from the Venetian period and the struggle for liberation.
The Frankish castle has been turned into a park with a tourist pavilion, where one can have refreshments and enjoy a superb view of the area.

Not far from the convent of Áyios Konstantínos is the church of Áyios Charálambos, one of the most note-worthy Byzantine churches in the area.

Kalamáta hosts a traditional folk dance festival every July in the amphitheater of the medieval castle.
