The Municipal Museum of the Kalavryta Holocaust
Kalavryta is famous for its striking natural beauty, its abundance in waters, its ski resort and its historical importance for Greeks. On 13th December 1943, the German 117th Jäger Division executed nearly all-male population and resulted in the total destruction of Kalavryta.

Kastria Cave of the Lakes
Leaving Kalavryta, our next stop is the Cave of the Lakes, with its mysterious galleries and multicolour chambers, the imposing stalactite and stalagmite formations. What makes this cave quite unique is that has the three different levels with lakes on every level, 13 in total.

Mega Spileo Monastery
The Holy Monastery of Mega Spileo (Grand Cave) which is located under the shadow of great rock at 940 m height, is one of the most important and wonderful places of Greek Orthodoxy in the Peloponnese. The Monastery was first built in 362 AC but has gone many repairs through the centuries. Today, you can admire a number of important and unique relics which are kept in a special hall and marvel at the beauty of nature around the Monastery.
