background
getting there
Due to the somewhat peripheral location, the journey is somewhat difficult, but
By plane
The nearest airport is in Kalamata and is from Olympic Airlines of Athens from. Athens Airport can be reached directly from many countries. But then a longer journey by land is necessary.In the summer season daily flights Ath-Klx with Aegean Airlines and three times a week Saloniki-Klx also with Aegean.
By train
The Greek State Railways EYELET drives from Patras daily to Kalamata. The journey takes about 4.5 hours. The route has been running since 2006 Athens Kalamata on the section Corinth Kalamata interrupted due to maintenance work. The resumption of operations is uncertain. As of August 2011, there is currently no train connection between Kalamata and Patras
In the street
Of Kalamata and Athens from there are several buses daily.
From Kalamata you can get to Koroni either by car or by taxi. Even if the costs for this have risen steadily in recent years, it is still a worthwhile option if, for example, you are traveling with a lot of luggage or small children and do not want to use a car in Koroni itself.
