Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 9 hours
* The gorge of the Vouraikos River is one of the ten most beautiful gorges in Europe, and the toothed railway, which began operating in 1896, is one of the six most famous in the world, with a gauge of only 0.75 m. These attractions have earned worldwide fame. With great respect for nature, and at the same time, in complete harmony with it, the cogwheel railway crosses the Vouraikos gorge. From the village of Dyakofto to Kalavryta, you will enjoy the wild beauty of the gorge, drive next to the river and see amazing places like "Court", "Doors", "Waterfalls" and "Floating Zahlory". You can also walk next to the rails of the road. It is worth sitting in the small taverns in the picturesque village of Kato Zahlory. • The impressive eight-storey complex of the Megalo Spileo Monastery (the Great Cave) is built on steep “hanging in the air" rocks. Getting close to this place, we are already experiencing a slight dizziness from the wild delight that you feel when you are in the mountains at a decent altitude of 940 meters above sea level. And when you see that a monastery is perched in a sheer cliff wall, you lose the power of speech. • The second largest ski resort in Greece is located just 14 kilometers from Kalavryta and is famous for offering sea views when descending from the mountain! The resort is considered one of the best in Greece. • The huge, three-storey lake cave of the Peloponnese is famous for its amazing stalactites, stalagmites and a whole complex of amazingly beautiful lakes located inside.You will get an unforgettable experience in the local caves. • The most beautiful square in Kalavryta is Freedom Square or Helmu Square, which is dominated by a beautiful historical hotel building. The Palaiologina Mansion, a three-storey stone building with loopholes above the entrance, is also a landmark of the city. • In the museum dedicated to the memory of burned civilians, you will learn about the tragic executions and destruction in Kalavryta, which were committed by the German invaders in 1943.
