Full-size Cars in Kalamata

Summer is quite hot in the Peloponnese, and it is sunny almost every day. For this reason, don’t forget to stock up on sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats. Autumn is distinguished by mild weather, and then a warm winter comes to Kalamata (the average temperature in winter is above 5°C). Don’t forget to take clothes suitable for the time of your visit.

Local people are quite passionate, and their behavior might surprise travelers at first. They speak loudly and use active body language. Don’t worry: it is nothing but a trait of the national character.

Pay attention to your gestures – some harmless gestures may be considered rude in Greece. For example, the thumbs-up gesture means “shut up” in the country, and pointing at something with two fingers (point finger and middle finger) is considered an insult.

In Greece, just like in some other countries, nodding head upward and downward means “no”, and from side to side means “yes”. Be careful when using these gestures.

Countries with hot climate often have a siesta – a special break approximately from 1 pm to 5 pm. This is the hottest time of the day, and so many people prefer to relax at home. Many establishments are closed at this time. In winter, there is no siesta break.
