Beautiful countryside; ...

Gail_P, May 2026

Beautiful countryside; long drive from Athens. Our driver Kostas was very professional and pleasant. Unfortunately, train has been closed for the foreseeable future by EU due to landslides. Other sites were great. Note: Kalavryta museum is closed on Monday, so we missed that as well.

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Gail, Thank you very much for your review and for your kind words about Kostas. We are glad you enjoyed the beautiful countryside and the other sites included in the day. We are truly sorry that the Odontotos train was not operating due to the ongoing landslide-related closure, and also that the Kalavryta Museum was closed on Monday. These external closures can unfortunately affect the full experience, even when the rest of the itinerary is completed as planned. We appreciate your understanding and your fair feedback. It was our pleasure to welcome you, and we are happy that Kostas made the day professional and pleasant for you.

Our tour guide Kosta was very friendly and informative. The Corinth Canal is amazing. Wish it provided boat tours. The railway ride allowed us to see remote parts of the country. The day was filled with various beautiful sites, include the the amazing Cave of Lakes.
