Greek National Road 82 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 82), abbreviated as the EO82, is a national road in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The EO82 runs between Sparta in the east and Pylos in the west, via Kalamata.

Route

The EO82 is officially defined as an east–west road in the Laconia and Messenia regional units: the EO82 runs between Sparta in the east and Pylos in the west, passing through Kalamata, Messini, Velika and Chatzis.[1] Within Kalamata, a small section of the EO82 is part of European routes E55 and E65, sandwiched between Junction 21 of the A7 motorway and the ferry to Kissamos.[2] The EO82 also runs concurrently with the EO7 between Kalamata and Kalami.
