Situated east of Kalamata, on the slopes of Mount Kalathi west of Taygetos, Elaiohori village is built at an altitude of 520m near the ancient town of Kalamai with a spectacular view to Messiniakos Gulf. On Agioi Taxiarches hill a part of the ancient fortification of the 4^th century was discovered in a good condition which was used to protect the acropolis from the village’s side; the other sides were steep, hence protected.

Near the village, in a cave in Dimiova, earthen idols were found dated from the early classical years (5^th century BC). In the village you will also find the chapel of Aghioi Theodoroi (St. Theodoroi) dated from the 17^th century and the monastery of Dimiova where there is a celebration on August 15^th that attracts many visitors. Elaiohori is only 3km away from Kalamata and has approximately 110 residents.
