Kalamata International Airport (KLX) is ideally situated between the vibrant city of Kalamata and the picturesque town of Messini, making it a key travel hub for the region. Conveniently located just 9.1 kilometers (a quick 14-minute drive) from Kalamata’s city center and only 2.9 kilometers (a mere 6 minutes) from Messini, the airport provides seamless access for travelers eager to explore the stunning landscapes of Messinia.

Since its establishment in 1959, Kalamata International Airport has played a pivotal role in connecting Messinia with the rest of the world. Initially serving domestic flights, the airport later expanded its services to include popular charter routes, particularly during the bustling summer season. The steady rise in passenger numbers and the addition of new destinations prompted the construction of a modern terminal in 1991, significantly improving the travel experience.

The airport proudly bears the name of Captain Vassilis Constantakopoulos, a visionary shipping magnate whose efforts were instrumental in its development. Today, Kalamata Airport is not only a vital gateway for locals and visitors to Messinia but also a crucial hub for travelers from neighboring regions without their own airports.

• Two arrival halls
