Aristomenous Street in Kalamata is now adorned with a masterpiece as the artist Kleomenis Kostopoulos created a mural in the form of Maria Callas on a multi-story building that stands out for the detail it has, but also for the colors and of course its style that magnetizes anyone who looks up to look at it.

A 35-year-old Turkish man in Kalamata confronted his employer at noon on Thursday, fatally stabbing him with a knife concealed in his clothing. The perpetrator has been charged with intentional homicide and offered no resistance during his arrest. He confessed to the crime.

When the revolutionaries entered Kalamata on the morning of March 23, 1821, Elias Mavromichalis asked the Turkish comander Arnaoutoglou to surrender, emphasizing the futility of his attempt.
