The Vouraika gorge has been carved out by the rushing Vourkaikos river which insolently continues to do so. Watching over this steep gorge are plane trees, pine forests and olive groves as it rises through Zachlorou village to reach 20 kilometres. One good way to discover its beauty is by taking the ultimate picturesque train ride from Kalavrita to Diakopto, on a one-of-a-kind line that’s been in operation since 1896. Hikers will also delight in any trek by the gorge.
