Helmos (Aroania Mountains)

Helmos is at an altitude of 2355m. It is the third highest mountain in the Peloponnese. The ancient name was Aroania Mountains while its contemporary name -Helmos- is of Slavic origin and means snowy mountain. Because of its natural beauty and its rare species of plants, birds and animals it became part of the network Natura 2000. Helmos attracts a large number of visitors mainly because of the ski resort situated in Vathia Lakka, 14 km. east from Kalavryta and the climbing routes that exist on the mountain.

Vouraikos Gorge - Odontotos

The valley of Vouraikos used to be a lake, like the whole area around Kalavryta. However, the waters had to find an outlet to the sea and “engraved” the magnificent gorge. Vouraikos gorge starts 3 km. north of the village of Kato Zachloro at an altitude of 730 meters and continues alongside the river covering a distance of 20 km to reach the village Diakopto.

Waterfalls, caves with stalactites and stalagmites, the rich vegetation of plane trees, fir trees, olive trees and oleanders make this primitive scenery unique in Greece.
