When you book a rental period at Villa Allex, you will receive an email from us one month before your departure with detailed instructions and photos on how to reach the holiday home.
The instructions begin at Kalamata Airport. Regardless of where you're coming from, you'll usually pass through Kalamata Airport. If you're coming from elsewhere, it's easy to follow the instructions from Vasilitsi. This is the last village you'll always pass through on your way to the house.
Kalamata Airport is 55 km from Villa Allex and is approximately a 1 hour 15 minutes drive.
Araxos Airport is 220 km away and is approximately a 3 hour 40 minutes drive.
Athens Airport is 314 km away and is approximately a 4 hour drive. This is a highway from Athens to Kalamata.
There are direct flights to Kalamata from London, Paris, Amsterdam, and other European cities. In 2024, Volotea also flew to Kalamata via Lille, but in 2025 they moved their landing site to Araxos Airport near Patras in the northern Peloponnese.
You can also fly to Kalamata via Brussels Airport, but there are no direct flights. Most flights go via Munich with Lufthansa, Aegean Airways, or Brussels Airways.
There are daily flights to Athens from Brussels and other European cities.
Low-cost airlines sometimes change their strategies during the winter. It is therefore advisable to reconsider the destinations in the spring.
You can of course reach Allex by other public transport or simply by car.
From Brussels, it's 3000 km and approximately a 32 hour drive via Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and North Macedonia. This route traverses beautiful landscapes across the Balkans.
Another option is to drive to Venice or Ancona, also in Italy, and from there take the ferry to Patras. Take the night ferry, then you will sleep most of the crossing and drive the last 4 hours to Allex well rested.
For train enthusiasts, you can travel from Brussels to Athens in just over two days. From there, you can take the bus to Kalamata or Koroni. However, keep in mind that you'll need to rent a car to reach Allex.
If the previous tenants have left on the same day as your arrival, the maintenance team has until 16:00h to prepare the house for your stay. In principle, you can move into the house on the day of arrival after the maintenance, but please keep in mind that this can sometimes be after 16:00h.
