Today, this plant is over 2,500 years old—a surreal sight. 2. Planitero: A visit to the picturesque village with its magnificent plane forest.

  • 4h
  • Admission ticket not included
Our three-day journey in historic Kalavryta concludes today. After breakfast, we depart for a visit to the Kalavryta Municipal Museum of the Holocaust [1]. Housed in the old primary school, the museum stands as a monument of remembrance and honor for the tragic events of the Occupation, offering a moving look into the history of this place. Following the museum visit, you will have free time for a stroll through the picturesque town and its traditional shops. You can purchase famous local products such as PDO barrel-aged feta cheese, honey, oregano, tea, walnuts, chestnuts, and spoon sweets—ideal souvenirs for you and your loved ones. At midday, we board the legendary Diakofto–Kalavryta Rack Railway, one of the most beautiful train journeys in the world. The little train traverses the impressive Vouraikos Gorge, passing through tunnels and over 49 bridges, offering unique images of wild natural beauty. In Diakofto, our bus will be waiting to transfer at famous Corinth Canal.
Isthmus of Corinth
  • 3h
Arriving at coastal Diakopto, our bus will collect you for the next stop: the emblematic Isthmus of Corinth. There, you will admire this magnificent engineering feat up close. The Isthmus is the narrow strip of land connecting mainland Greece to the Peloponnese. The idea for the canal's opening preoccupied rulers like the 6th century B.C. tyrant Periander of Corinth and the Roman Emperor Nero. The vision became reality in July 1893 with the inauguration of the modern canal, which connects the Saronic with the Corinthian Gulf. We will stop at special viewing points to capture the impressive, vertical cliffs, reaching up to 79 meters high, that frame the narrow channel. After our brief stop, the itinerary concludes with your transfer to the Corinth train station, from where you will depart by train for Athens. Thank you very much for choosing to travel with us on this special experience. We wish you always health and joy in your lives! Have a safe journal.
