A great idea to spend a day while staying in Athens is to have an experience of the wild nature of Greece and also visit a very significant place of the modern History of Greece through the Full Day Private Tour to Kalavryta including an optional ride with the rack railway. At a 735 meters altitude, the beautiful town of Kalavryta not only vividly portrays the Greek countryside, but also brings a historic place related to the liberation of Greece, back to life.

The hidden gem of Greece

This is a true gem of a tour. The Pelopponesian peninsula is stunning. My driver Georgios was willing to teach everything from Greek language (how to read and pronounce), history of the areas and gyros vs souvlaki and the proper way to order it. The tour itself was a hidden gem. There were very few foreign tourists and mostly Greek people on holiday which made me feel like I was truly experiencing Greece as a local. The rack rail train trip was simply stunning and well worth it for the views. Kalavryta is a gorgeous town with great coffee. The scenery everywhere was stunning but the Cave Lakes were magical. I will visit again when the water is higher. The museum at the caves was very educational. I highly recommend this trip for anyone ago wants to see a less than common part of Greece. Ευχαριστώ (thank you) Georgios.

We took the train and the view on the railroad is awesome, and Corinth canal is very impressive. Cave of lake took hours to get there and only 10 mins visit but it’s really worth it.
Great people, great tracks

The train ride was great. Helena accompanied us on the train, discussing what we were seeing. Scenery was spectacular, with snow covered mountains and following the river. The Holocaust Museum was quite informative, with Helena adding information as we looked at the exhibits. Our driver, Alex was always ready when we were ready to move on. Helena went way out of her way to help me solve a problem. I was very grateful for her assistance.
