Our take
Grecotel Filoxenia is a five-star beachfront resort on the edge of Kalamata, framed by the Taygetos Mountains and the Messinian Gulf. Rooms look over the sea or gardens, and two pools, a spa and gourmet dining make it a stay to settle into. A 9.2 rating from 260 reviews suggests a polished experience. It is on the outskirts rather than in the centre of Kalamata, so plan transport for the town and its sights.
- ✓Opt for a sea-view room to fully appreciate the striking Messinian Gulf vistas from your balcony.
- ✓Make sure to visit the Olive Spa for a relaxing dip in the pool or a session in the marble steam bath.
- ✓Enjoy a drink at the beach bar as the sun sets over the water for a truly memorable evening.
Why we love it

Why guests love itGrecotel Filoxenia is a five-star beachfront hotel on the outskirts of Kalamata, at the foot of the Taygetos Mountains and on the Messinian Gulf. Elegant rooms have sea or garden views, and the property has two pools, a spa and gourmet dining.
