Sculpture "No Winners in War"
Highlight • Monument
The bronze statue depicts a desperate widow dragging the body of her executed husband on a cloth, accompanied by her children.
The monument commemorates the Kalavryta massacre on December 13, 1943, during World War II. In an act of revenge by the German occupiers, almost all male residents of the town over the age of 12 or 14 were executed.

Municipal Museum of the Kalavryta Holocaust
Highlight • Museum
(Greek: Δημοτικό Μουσείο Καλαβρυτινού Ολοκαυτώματος). The museum is housed in a former primary school built in 1906. On December 13, 1943, this building served as a gathering point during the Kalavryta massacre, where the German Wehrmacht separated men from their families.
The exhibition displays personal items of the victims, historical documents, and photographs documenting the atrocities of the National Socialists and the fate of the town.
The building is an imposing stone structure with neoclassical elements and prominent columns on the entrance facade.

Mural by Insane51
Highlight • Monument
The artwork is located on the wall of the cultural center of Kalavryta.
The central theme is freedom. It connects to the historical significance of Kalavryta and its role in the Greek War of Independence.
Insane51 is internationally known for his photorealistic technique, which combines 3D effects with street art.
The mural consists of two
overlapping motifs in different colors. With special 3D glasses (anaglyph technique), viewers can perceive the different levels separately.

Odontotos Rack Railway (Diakopto–Kalavryta Railway)
Highlight • Structure
Unfortunately in Greece information is not always easily accessible or up-to-date.
We wanted to take the train up through the spectacular Vouraikos gorge. Unfortunately the train didn't run because of a landslide. So we had to take a taxi to Kalavrita because the bus did not go on Saturday either: ((
Conversations with other E4 hikers on the route showed that the earth rush is not so severe and that you can hike up the tracks without any problems. It is also very relaxing when you know there is no train when you walk through the tunnel.
Definitely recommended, but be careful!
