Our driver will pick you up from your hotel in the morning and drive along the mainland coast to Peloponnese. Later, we will make our first stop at the Canal of Corinth (6 km long and 80 m high) for a photo stop from the viewpoint. We continue to reach Ancient Corinth, one of the beloved cities of Saint Paul. We will have the chance to visit the Ancient Market and the Bema of Apostle Paul (Galionas), a large, elevated rostrum standing prominently in the centre of the Roman Forum of Ancient Corinth. Then we will arrive at Diakofto to take the Cog Railway (Odontotos), which links Kalavrita with Diakofto through the Vouraikos Canyon, one of the most beautiful natural sights and most spectacular railway rides in Greece. The little train travels through streams, tunnels, waterfalls, cliffs, and forests of pine and oleander, ending at the town of Kalavryta. Our driver will meet you there to continue the tour at the mysterious, magnificent, and unique Cave of the Lakes, a rare creation of nature consisting of 13 small and large lakes with different colours.
