    Hiking

    Tunnel section in the Vouraikos Gorge. According to legend Hercules used his sword to cut in two the rock that closed the passage to reach his beloved Voura's daughter Eliki, hence the gorge name.
    The Vouraikos gorge starts 3 km north of the village of Kato Zachlorou at an altitude of 730 meters and continues parallel to the river, traveling a distance of 20 kilometers to reach the village of Diakopto (Municipality of Egialia), a journey of one hour by the train, built in 1898, still the narrowest gauge train in Europe at 0.75m.

    This is the longest tunnel on the way. Make sure there is no train approaching.
