Vouraikos River Gorge

Vouraikos River Gorge

If you’re looking for pinch-me panoramas, then you’re in the right place. 20km long, this gorge is home to dense forests and waterfalls, not to mention a river running right through the centre, so it’s a hiker’s dream. Or you can travel on the rack-and-pinion railway, one of Europe's most spectacular train rides in Europe. Legend even has it that Hercules opened this gorge in order to get close to his one true love.
