Day 15 of your road trip in Greece is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Kalamata before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Kalamata Municipal Railway Park, a heritage-rich park before you head out.

On your last day in Greece, take time to indulge in shopping at Kalamata’s popular marketplace, Aristomenous Street. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Wrap up your shopping with a drink and some pastries at a cozy cafe.

Before you conclude your road trip in Greece, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Kalamata.

If you're in the mood to try something new, consider Gazoza, another top spot with a mouthwatering menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Kalamata. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Greece!
