Kalamata: Cool place, but beware not much water (2.4 meters at entrance) and if strong south/west winds, entering the marina is dangerous. Very few safe anchorages in the area.
Limeni exposed to NW (dominant wind). On the West side, Koroni more or less OK, Methoni better, Navarino bay much safer, but the port of Pylos is in terrible shape (free, but hence almost full because of abandoned boats everywhere and garbage all over the place).
On the East side, nothing good before Kayio, and there, beware of both NW and NE winds (NW falls down the mountain) and bottom is a thin layer of sand and hard rock below.
It is a beautiful area but do not expect good shelters and the weather forecasts are totally unreliable in southern Peloponnese. Navarino, Methoni, Koroni, Kayio, Kythera, and Ythion are beautiful though.

The small breakwater is now occupied by 1 or 2 fishing vessels, not much space left for yachts. When we were there we had a westerly wind of 8 knots and then it was nearly not safe to stay there.

When you do not want to go into the yacht harbour, one can moor in the commercial harbor, not a nice place but yachts are not sent away.
Reported by Tony Olin:
Kalamata, good marina, well run and reasonable pricing. Good town for shopping and good tavernas close by. Fuel man calls every day, nice town to spend some time there. Ideal for crew changes with the local airport nearby and good bus connection to Athens.
Are you moored in the K&G marina at Kalamata ? How big is it ?
