Archaeological Museum of Messenia
Housed in the old market in the center of Kalamata, this museum will take you back in time through exhibits that display artifacts from prehistoric times through the Byzantine era. Some of the highlights include gold jewelry and figurines from a chamber tomb in the Ellinika region, and a funerary stele from the Sanctuary of Pamisos in the village of Agios Floros. The findings were uncovered through excavations, surveys and occasionally even accidental discoveries by ordinary citizens.
