Let's focus on beauty

Kalavryta is one of those small mountainous towns that combine harmoniously the amazing nature with the human constructions. As most places in Greece it has a long and in many occasions "dark" history, but today let's focus on beauty!

Either it is a train station, a fortified residence or a humble house, I am sucker a for stone built structures. It is not only that I like looking at them, I feel a comforting, reassuring feeling when I am inside. I guess that's why I have chosen a 19th century house to live in :)

It is almost impossible to go a trip in Greece without running into something ancient :)


I have a soft spot for rivers and the thriving nature around them. It just makes me happy walking (and taking pictures) in a scenery like that!

And in this occasion I have even found an old watermill that is still operational!

Kalavryta is famous for the historic rack railway


And as always dusk has its own charm!

The place looks 'left off' but I love the view. This type of place always attracts me. I would love to take a walk there.

Partly true, but I have to admit that I often get carried away by the decaying grace of the old, so my view might not be very objective. I am sure you would love your walk around there, though :)

Great photos!
