Diakofto Railway Station
(Diakopto Railway Station)

Kato Diakopto (or Kato Diakofto) rack railway station. The little train starts here that will take us to historic Kalavryta in 50 or 60 minutes and 22,350 meters. Construction began in 1889 (as directed by Prime Minister Charilaos Trikoupis) and was completed in 1896. It was one of the most difficult, complex technical projects of its time (and even by today's standards). The research and construction were carried out by French engineers and contractors. The toothed portion of the route covers a total of 3,400 meters. From 2003 to 2009, there was a large-scale renovation of the whole network and of the toothed equipment, with a widening of the tracks and installation of larger trains.
