Kalimera Journal / Santa Rosa
A local guide for one unhurried evening
One Evening.
Art. Theatre. Railroad Square. Wine country. A Mediterranean table in the center of Downtown Santa Rosa.
Begin the eveningDowntown is close enough to become one plan.
The museum closes. The theatre lights come up. Dinner begins a few streets away.
★★★★★
Kalimera is a gem in downtown Santa Rosa. The combo kebab platter was outstanding — perfectly seasoned and grilled. The warm Turkish lamps and decor create such a cozy Mediterranean atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Coming to Santa Rosa
From wine country. From the Bay. From nearby.
Across wine country.
Continue a Calistoga or Napa Valley day with dinner, a performance or an overnight stay in Downtown Santa Rosa.
North for the evening.
A museum, Mediterranean dinner and live performance can fit into one Santa Rosa visit.
Make downtown the stop.
Meet friends, park once and let dinner become part of a longer visit to Sonoma County.
One night beyond the city.
Come north for Sonoma wine country, Downtown Santa Rosa and a dinner that does not require another drive across town.
Across the Bay.
Pair a weekend drive with Railroad Square, the museum, dinner and a scheduled performance.
Stay for the evening.
Turn a North Bay day trip into a complete downtown itinerary rather than driving home directly after wine tasting.
Leave the car parked.
Downtown lodging makes an early dinner, theatre night or late walk easier to plan.
No itinerary required.
Some evenings are simply dinner in the center of Santa Rosa.
