Indulge in its silky beaches. Be transported to other times, to the well-preserved castle of Patras and the impressive fortress of Rio, the Kasteli of Moria, which, together with that of Antirio, were a control point for the passage of ships in the Corinthian Gulf. From there you can admire the uninterrupted view of the longest bridge in the world, the Rio-Antirrio Bridge, which connects Western Greece with the Peloponnese. Tour the capital of Achaia, starting from the magnificent church of Agios Andreas, the first disciple of Christ who was to be crucified in this place. Explore the National Wetlands Park of Kotyki Strofylia and from there climb up to Petroto, to taste the authentic sweet and sour wine “Mavrodaphne”, in the oldest winery of Greece. From Diakopto, board the wondrous Odontotos Railway that will take you to the heroic Kalavryta and eastwards you will find yourself in Ancient Aegeira with its “fryktoria”, the ancient way of sending messages. Take a walk through the myth, to Erymanthus, where Hercules tamed the great and terrible wild boar, to the waters of Styx in Helmos, where Thetis dived Achilles and to the river Ladona, where the nymph Daphne was transformed into the homonymous plant in order to escape from the erotic “appetites” of Apollo.
Go hiking, cycling and bird watching in the Kotichi Strofylia National Wetlands Park.
