Kalamata was the terminus of the Myloi-Kalamata railway line. A Belgian company won the contract in 1888 and completed the section from Kalamata to the village of Diavolitsi before it went bankrupt. It was replaced by the Piraeus, Athens and Peloponnese Railways (SPAP) company. The railway station opened in 1892. It is a superb example of industrial architecture. This 1st-class station features a central two-storey structure flanked by two one-story wings. The stationmaster and his family lived on the first floor, while the ground floor housed the ticket sales office, luggage and waiting rooms, the employees' offices, and the telegraph office. The stone walls, the metal track-side platform canopy, the wooden roofs, and the built-in sign with the name of the station are typical features of the line’s terminals. The station closed in 2010, but ​​an outdoor railway park remains accessible.
