Our first stop is at the impressive Corinth canal as your driver describes its many interesting ill-fated and varied History’s from Ancient times to the present.The Corinth Canal connects the Gulf of Corinth in the Ionian Sea with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometres (4 mi) in length and only 21.4 metres (70 ft) wide at its base, making it impassable for many modern ships. From high up, you can enjoy the best view of Corinth's isthmus and admire the steep limestone walls while you observe the vessels below you navigate their way through the canal

It is one of the most cosmopolitan towns (6,000 inhabitants) on the northern coast of the Peloponnese, in the county of Corinthos, a short distance from Athens, 120 km or 1 h and 15′ approximatelly by car (1h and 30′ from Athens international airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” ). From the beginning of the last century it is kept high on the travelling preferences of Greek and foreign tourists. Today it is one of the most important tourist destinations in the Peloponnese.

Xylokastro Beaches There are two large ‘Blue Flags’ beaches (Aristonafton in the west and Pefkia in the east) which are organised with sun-beds and umbrellas. There are also a lot of other options of beautiful beaches among the surrounding hills.

About 120 years ago, the Diakopto-Kalavryta cogwheel railway, starting from the coastal town of Diakopto and parallel to the river's tracks, built bridges, drilled tunnels, added "teeth" and managed to climb all the way to Kalavryta.

The Cave of the Lakes is located at an altitude of 800m. and 2 km north of the village of Kastria, next to the Kalavryta - Kleitoria provincial road. The connection of the cave with the myth of the Proitides and Melampos is considered successful, since there are no other large caves in the area and the description of Pausanias is rather favourable for a similar identification.

Kalavryta town welcomes you as one of the hot winter destinations in the Peloponnese. This beautiful town lies at the foot of Mt. Chelmos and it is a must-visit buzzing place during the cold months of the year on account of its ski centre. In this dreamlike setting you will see stone-built houses, small squares, charming alleys, picturesque cafés and tavernas right next to shady plane trees: it’s a destination ideal for those aiming to combine their love for nature with their romantic mood.
