What to expect
Discover the Vouraikos Gorge, a truly beautiful natural landscape, ideal for hiking. Hiking along the historic Cog Railway offers a genuinely memorable experience, through lush vegetation, flowing waters & impressive rock formations. It is a route that perfectly combines natural beauty with history & tradition.
Located in northern Peloponnese, between Mount Helmos & the eastern slopes of Mount Panachaiko, this impressive 20-kilometre gorge has been shaped over centuries by the Vouraikos River. As part of the Chelmos–Vouraikos National Park & a UNESCO Global Geopark, it stands out for its rich flora & fauna, while waterfalls, caves & unique geological formations create a landscape of remarkable natural beauty.
The trail follows this protected area & forms part of the European long-distance E4 trail. Throughout the hike, we walk alongside the tracks of the historic Cog Railway, a living monument dating back to 1896, connecting Diakopto with Kalavryta & considered one of the most scenic railway routes in the Balkans.
The experience begins at Mega Spilaio station & continues through the gorge to Triklia station, where we enjoy a tasty picnic in nature before heading back.
