    We had an incredible time with Maria as a guide on the Messinia boat ride and lunch in Kalamata. She planned the entire trip down to the very small details to ensure that we had a high quality and enriching experience. She was extremely engaging and answered all our questions about the surrounding area while showing us Greek culture and traditions. The boat tour was very relaxing with an opportunity to go swimming and enjoy a meal on-board. The traditional lunch was served at an oceanside restaurant where we got to experience local foods from the region as Maria described the dishes in detail including their history and how they were prepared. We were blown away by how well the trip was planned and the personalized experience. We would HIGHLY recommend any visitor to Kalamata or the region book this tour.

  • Amazing and thoughtful experience!

    We had an amazing time and Mamas Flavours made this bachelorette party so memorable and unique!! Everything was so very well planned, organized and executed. Maria the host provided thoughtful gifts to all of us and snacks on the boat. The lunch at the olive grove was delicious and we had amazing views of the ocean. The food was amazing made with local fresh organic products, and the explanation of local wedding customs was a great add on. The boat tour was also amazing, barba Yianni our captain was awesome. The boat experience was a true Greek experience with a local captain, we felt comfortable and relaxed. Communication was top notch and we were so very well taken care of. Thank you, we wish you much success and look forward to booking one of your other tours on our next trip to Greece. This experience was far above our expectations, I highly recommend it.
