Another marvelous geological phenomenon just 16 km from Kalavryta is the Lake Kastria. This cave lake is full of stalactites and stalagmites and, according to mythology, it was inhabited by nymphs.
As the region around Kalavryta is rich in water, there are a lot of plane trees. A lovely village to visit is Planitero, where water is affluent and nature is at its best. |
