Ski at Kalavrita - www.web-greece.gr/favorite_2.htm

The Diakofto Kalavrita Railway is a historic 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in) gauge rack railway. It runs 22 km from Diakofto through the Vouraikos Gorge and the old "Mega Spileon" Monastery and up to Kalavrita, stopping on route at Zachlorou. It goes without saying, the views are stunning.

The caves at Diros are unforgettable. An underground river is responsible for the crystal waters, and the underground caves weave lazily along the sparkling stalactites and stalagmites of all sizes and shapes. Halogen lights have been placed strategically to show a huge of colours and formations built by nature over thousands of years.The caves of Diros: Glyphada (or Vlyhada) Alepotripa and Kataphygi are situated south of Aeropoli.
