Overview of your Athens tour

What I love most about this, is the unique experience of the Cog Railway (Odontotos), which follows the Vouraikos' gorge. After visiting the Ancient Corinth, you will enjoy the train route from the seaside Diakopto to the picturesque Kalavryta. Diakopto is located 22 Km near Kalavrita. The journey takes one hour and the speed of the train ranges between 30 and 40 Km/h at usual rail and 6 - 15 Km/h at cogs. The slope of the ground does not allow the movement of a usual train, so between the rails there are cogs that allow the operation of a mechanism to raise the train from the level of the sea at the station of Kalavrita which is 750 metres above the sea level. The little cog train known in the past as the tooth train), is well known to train lovers all over the world, because its journey along the gorge, is one of the most spectacular railway rides.
