The Monastery of Agia Lavra was built in the year 961 and came to have up to 1000 monks. It was burned by the Turks in 1585, 1600 and 1826. It was rebuilt in 1828 and in 1943 the Germans have again burned it. After World War II it has been rebuilt in the way we find it today. In the Monastery you can see very important relics and historical treasures.

The Monastery of Mega Spileo is 10km from the city of Kalavrita. It was founded in 362 AC. It is built in the opening of a natural cave on a cliff of 120 meters high perfectly harmonized with the wild landscape that surrounds it. In the Monastery are kept national and religious relics of great value although most of its library was destroyed by the Germans in 1943. The most important relic is the icon of the Virgin, work of the apostle Luke made of wax and masticha. It represents the Virgin sitting with her head slightly tilted to the right where she has Jesus in her arms. The Monastery of Mega Spileo can be visited by car or on foot from the train station in the village of Zachlorou.

The Odontotos rack railway, starts from the seaside town of Diakopto to the northeast of Peloponnese and ends in the city of Kalavryta at 730m altitude. During the 60 minutes of the route (22km) it crosses the Vouraikos canyon. Its speed is between 12km and 40km per hour.

At the beginning of the trip, the route is straight until you reach 5 km from Diakopto, from there until Zachlorou the road is totally impressive, the road changes from side to side when passing through the canyon continuously. The train passes through a tunnel in a curve and when it leaves it grabs to a narrow protrusion that seems to be suspended over the river. The road follows a leafy canopy of fields and finally arrives in Kalavrita. The Kalavryta train was built between 1889 and 1896. Since then the trains have run uninterrupted 365 days a year without any incident. It was designed by French engineers and hired Italian workers with experience in the construction of railways in the Alps. To climb the slopes the train uses the system of the rack since the slopes are superior to 3.5% of inclination. During the rest of the trip, it moves as regular trains do.

The Cave of Lakes (Spileo ton Limnon) is located near the village of Kastria 17km from Kalavryta. The cave is an old subterranean river of three levels. During the winter, when the snow melts, it becomes a flowing river with waterfalls. During the summer, it dries up and the 13 lakes appear. In the lower level of the cave fossilized human bones and various animals were found, including a hippopotamus.
