Colors of Greece – Kalamata
Green is the color of nature. It is the color of forests and trees, of tranquility, friendliness, and healing. It promotes creativity, evokes feelings of joy and well-being. Darker tones of green can convey feelings of seriousness and grandeur, as well as warmth and hospitality.
The architectural character of Kalamata's listed buildings has been influenced by the latest European trends (German classicism, Italian Renaissance, art nouveau, etc.), Athenian classical architecture, as well as Venetian architecture and the standards of the Ottoman era. The buildings that follow the eclectic style are dated to the first decades of the 20th century and, while based on neoclassicism, are also influenced by other European models (Baroque, Gothic style, rustic, art nouveau) and the new trends in Athenian architecture.
Olive green adorns homes and is particularly liked because it can be easily combined with many shades. When you observe an olive tree, you can identify more than one shade, the dark khaki, but also its lighter hue. Both of these shades look great on walls. If you have wooden furniture and objects in your space, then this is the ideal shade for you, for a warm yet classy effect.
We know that during the Mycenaean period, 3,200-3,600 years ago, olive oil was already one of the main products of the agricultural economy in Messinia. This oil carries authenticity and tradition, so that it reaches your hands as a pure extra virgin olive oil of unique taste and quality, recognized by the world and the most renowned chefs. The green of the olive blends ideally with earthy tones.
