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.^[2] 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.^[3] The EO82 also runs concurrently with the EO7 between Kalamata and Kalami.
