Explore Greece’s Military History from 1821 to 1944
The Military Museum of Kalamata is small but tells the history well. This museum’s displays depict Greek military history from roughly 1821 to 1944, through a fascinating collection of photos, uniforms, medals and weaponry, often donated it seems from the soldiers who wore them. A few placards detail their history. For those who enjoy martial nostalgia, the Military History Museum is an earnest example of a small-scale good effort. The top floor comprises a small lecture room and a collection of amateur easel paintings depicting various battles. The museum is run by the Greek Army and there is always a serving soldier to show you round. It is an interesting place to visit that will help you learn a lot about Greek military history. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday. There is no admittance charge, but there is a donations box.
