The Kapeladiko (Hat Shop) began its journey back in the 1920s, during an era when wearing a hat wasn’t just a fashion statement, but a part of one’s identity. Since then, generations have passed, tastes have evolved, yet the shop has remained faithful to its timeless sense of style and quality — preserving that distinct atmosphere of old Kalamata that is now rare to find.

Today, the Hat Shop offers much more than hats — although its impressive collection of headwear in all styles, materials, and for all ages continues to stand out. Over the years, the store has expanded and transformed into a complete tourist destination. Inside, visitors can find a wide range of souvenirs, magnets, scarves, bags, suitcases, and charming little keepsakes, all carefully selected with taste, passion, and attention to quality.

But this shop is more than just a place to shop — it’s a living memory of the past, a part of the city’s history that continues to unfold every day. Visitors don’t just buy an item — they take home a piece of Kalamata’s magic, a fragment of authenticity from a bygone era that still lives on through places like this. It has also become a popular photo spot, with many tourists pausing to snap a picture in front of this charming, historical storefront.

If you find yourself in 23rd of March Square, don’t walk past the Hat Shop. Take a moment to browse the window display, step inside, and let yourself be transported to a time when tradition met charm. It’s the kind of place that’s hard to come by nowadays — and once you discover it, you’ll never forget it.

Open during the summer months from morning until late at night. You’ll surely find something special to take home with you when you leave Kalamata!
