Municipal Unit of Kalavryta

Kalavryta is best known in Greece for the 1943 Kalavryta massacre, a defining tragedy of the German occupation. Set on the slopes of Mount Chelmos in the northern Peloponnese, the town lies close to the Vouraikos Gorge. The Odontotos rack railway connects Kalavryta with Diakopto, following the gorge on one of Greece’s most distinctive rail routes. The Municipal Museum of the Holocaust of Kalavryta, in the former primary school, documents the events of December 1943 and their lasting place in local memory.
