This astronomical instrument stands in Psila Alonia Square (Πλατεία Ψηλά Αλώνια). The inscription on the front, "ΠΙΝΑΚΑΣ ΔΙΟΡΘΩΣΕΩΝ ΣΕ ΛΕΠΤΑ ΩΡΑΣ" (Correction Table in Minutes of Time), provides correction values for various months and days. Since sundials display true solar time, which deviates slightly from uniform mechanical time (equation of time) throughout the year, these tables help calculate the exact standard time. It is a horizontal sundial with a triangular metal gnomon whose shadow indicates the time on the top.

Right by the train station are traditional tavernas, such as the famous "Romance Tavern," which has often served as a backdrop for Greek films. The station is a popular starting point for hikes through the gorge along the railway tracks, especially to Diakopto (approx. 12 km, 3.5-4 hours). Another trail leads up to the Mega Spileo Monastery, founded in the 4th century and built directly into a cliff face. The area is characterized by dense forests of plane trees, chestnut trees, and pines, as well as numerous waterfalls in the gorge.

Zachlorou Station (also known as Mega Spileo) is a prominent station on the historic Diakopto-Kalavryta Railway. It is located in the picturesque village of Kato Zachlorou, nestled within the impressive Vouraikos Gorge. The station primarily serves as access to the famous Mega Spileo Monastery (Great Cave), which can be reached via a 45- to 60-minute hike. The station is part of the 750 mm narrow-gauge rack railway ("Odontotos"), which opened in 1896 and is considered one of the most spectacular railway lines in the Balkans.

Diakopto often serves as a starting point for excursions into the surrounding mountains, especially towards Kalavryta. Vouraikos Gorge: One of Greece's most famous hikes leads through this gorge. The route often follows the tracks of the cog railway ("Odontotos") and is part of the European long-distance hiking trail E4.

As long as you're not afraid of heights, it's an absolutely wonderful experience. And don't worry, you'll hear the train coming beforehand. :-)
