Kalavryta Tour (Full Day)

Embark on a fascinating journey from Athens, beginning with a stop at the Corinth Canal, an engineering marvel connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas. Continue to Diakopto, where you'll board the famous Odontotos Rack Railway for a breathtaking ride through the Vouraikos Gorge, passing lush landscapes, tunnels, and bridges. Arriving in Kalavrita, visit the Municipal Museum of the Kalavryta Holocaust, commemorating the tragic events of WWII. Pay tribute at the Monument to the Local Victims of the Nazi Massacre, a site of deep historical significance. Next, explore the spectacular Cave of the Lakes in Kastria, with its underground lakes and impressive rock formations. After a delightful meal at a traditional taverna, we return to Athens, ending a day rich in history, nature, and culture.

As we cross the Isthmus, we stop to see the great feat of engineering that finally opened the route between the Gulf of Corinth and the Saronic Gulf - the Corinth Canal. It was finished in 1893, even though the idea existed at least as far back as 602 BC!

Experience one of Greece’s most scenic train rides aboard the Odontotos Rack Railway, a historic and picturesque journey through the stunning landscapes of the Vouraikos Gorge. This legendary railway, built in 1896, connects the coastal town of Diakopto to the beautiful mountain village of Kalavrita, offering a truly unforgettable experience.

The Kalavrita Holocaust Museum honors the memory of the 1943 massacre, where Nazi forces executed nearly all male residents. Housed in the old school, it displays photographs, artifacts, and personal stories, preserving the tragic history and resilience of Kalavryta.

The Monument of the Executed in Kalavrita honors the victims of the 1943 Nazi massacre, where nearly all male residents were executed. Located on Kapi Hill, it stands as a solemn tribute to their memory, symbolizing resilience and remembrance.
