About 120 years ago Odontotos rack railway started from the seaside town of Diakopto parallel to the river and climbed to Kalavrita through bridges and tunnels.Since then the Vouraikos river and Odontotos go together.The little train incorporated so well to the natural environment that it seems that it had always been there. The way it was constructed did not put a strain on the ecosystem of the gorge. Using stone and wood from the area the technicians' work is so perfect that someone may think that the nature worked on its own.Odontotos is not just a train.

Kastria Cave of the Lakes
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
The caves are a place of magic, mysterious and not just for children or poets.The Cave of the Lakes is not only a superb natural, but also a valuable cultural monument, we need to know from all sides. For the viewer, the impression is stronger and unforgettable. Lakes in the interior of a cave are neither common around the world, nor in Greece, where they constitute a unique geological phenomenon. Here the waters sometimes overflow in the winter and stagnate in the other seasons, in the 13 terraced lakes. And since we learn we need to teach our children to listen the secrets of the Earth. So only by this way we can protect the unique nature of the caves. You will be stand by this caves beauty !
