DIOKOPTO
Situated in the prefecture
of Archaia in the Greek Peloponnese,
Diokopto (sometimes spelled Diokofto) is the gateway to the mountains
around Kalavryta, and poised at the head of the remarkable Vouraikos
Gorge. Although it is the starting point for the spectacular
rack-and-pinion train journey, which ascends seven hundred metres in
twenty-two kilometres through the Gorge, it is also on the Gulf of
Corinth coast and possesses a picturesque boat marina. At the Diokopto
railway station and in the nearby railway yards interesting old trains
can be seen. My pictures on this page show the amazing railway track
from the walking trail beside it, from lemon orchards, vegetable
gardens and wildflowers, to streams, caves and ancient bridges, to the
rugged rock walls of the Gorge itself.
