8.93 km

The hike from Kalavryta to Diakopto through the gorge is 22.4 kilometers long. It is also part of the E 4 hiking trail, which leads across the Peloponnese. You can take the cogwheel train from Diakopto to the end point and hike back from there. You can also get off at the middle station and hike back from there for about 12 kilometers. The path leads along the tracks, over bridges and tunnels, where the train also runs alongside. Caution is advised.

Vouraikos Gorge Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

Tunnel section in the Vouraikos Gorge. According to legend Hercules used his sword to cut in two the rock that closed the passage to reach his beloved Voura's daughter Eliki, hence the gorge name.
The Vouraikos gorge starts 3 km north of the village of Kato Zachlorou at an altitude of 730 meters and continues parallel to the river, traveling a distance of 20 kilometers to reach the village of Diakopto (Municipality of Egialia), a journey of one hour by the train, built in 1898, still the narrowest gauge train in Europe at 0.75m.
