Walk the paths that Saint Paul traversed, visiting the ancient market and the Bema of Saint Paul—a prominent rostrum where he preached to the citizens of Corinth. Explore the ruins of this former city-state, reflecting on the rich history that shaped early Christianity. Here, you’ll see the Temple of Apollo and the Ancient Agora, where the Apostle Paul preached to the Corinthians.
Diakofto
Our next stop is at Diakofto, where you'll board the Cog Railway (Odontotos) that connects Kalavryta with Diakofto, traveling through the breathtaking Vouraikos Canyon. This route is renowned for being one of the most beautiful natural sights in Greece and has been celebrated as one of the most spectacular railway rides in the Balkans. The train journey takes you through picturesque landscapes, winding along streams and climbing the steep narrow gorge into the mountains. You'll pass through tunnels, over waterfalls, and along cliffs, surrounded by lush forests of pine and oleander. When the incline becomes particularly steep, the train switches from a regular track to a cog system for added stability. The scenic ride concludes in the charming town of Kalavryta, offering an unforgettable experience of Greece's stunning natural beauty.
