Begining with a drive along the coast, you will get the chance to see some Greek seaside villages and the island of Salamis. Salamis is where the historical naval battle took place between the Athenians and the Persians. Our first stop of the day, the Corinth Canal. Eventually opened in 1892 separating the Peloponnese from the rest of Greece all the while connecting the Saronic Gulf to the Corinthian Sea. Having time to walk across on a pedestrian bridge and admire the canal closer, you may go bungee jumping on some days (if you’re game).

Diakofto is a small seaside town with a magnificent view of the Corinthian Gulf. The town is mainly known for the train “Odontotos” which crosses the Vouraikos Gorge on a beautiful route until Kalavrita. In the summer period the visitor has the opportunity to visit the coasts of Diakofto and during the winter visitors of the area visit the magnificent ski center of Kalavrita.

Get on the special train of Diakofto, the most scenic and graphic train route in Greece passing through tunnels and a canyon, coming in contact with the purest Greek nature, the train will leave you at Kalavrita after a short ride.

Kalavryta is a mountainous small town full of narrow streets, cafes and restaurants, where you can find many locally produced products like honey, herbs, spices, pasta e.t.c. Kalavryta also played an important role in Greek history. It was in the legendary Agia Lavra (a monastery of the territory) that the Greek War of Independence began. In 1821 the first revolutionaries took an oath "to fight or die" for freedom and the flag of the revolution was raised there. The site is also a martyr of World War II. In 1943 one of the most vicious holocausts in Greek territory took place here. The town is dominated by inscriptions and crosses commemorating that fact. At Kalavryta we will have lunch.

We will overnight at the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
