Araxos culture

Right before Patras comes Rio, a transportation hub, uniting the Peloponnese with Central Greece and Epiros by car ferry. Jutting towards the sea, the old Venetian fortress, the "Castle of the Morea", faded and ravaged by time, is the first thing to strike the eye. Traversing Patras, continue along the old Patras - Pirgos road. It is in good condition with a view of the sea and passes endless stretches of sandy beach (Araxos) and charming villages lapped in greenery. This little jaunt ends at Kalogria in time for an afternoon dip and a rest on its white sand.

The mountain villages of Achaia are scattered below its three highest peaks, Mts. Panahaiko, Erimanthos or Olanos, and Aroaneia or Helmos. Set atop invisible plateaus or on precipitous slopes amidst a riot of vegetation, these singularly lovely and picturesque villages inspire wonder in the wayfarer. A half-hour's drive from Kalavrita, near the village of Kastria, will bring you to the cave of the lakes. A narrow passage takes you into a first small cave that broadens into an enormous cavern 2 km. long with 15 miniature lakes formed by natural dams. The stalagmites and stalactites with their extraordinary shapes, the iridescent colours, the immense boulders, the small waterfalls and the tiny lakes with their natural dams stimulate and delight the imagination. And now let's take a trip to the cool green villages where one can see antiquities (Klitoria, Likouria) or vestiges of Frankish and Byzantine rule. Each village has a precious gift to offer, something truly beautiful. You'll find so many springs on the way. Here and there wayside shrines. Sometimes a flock of sheep will block your passage on the road and you'll hear the cautionary growl of the sheepdog, but the friendly nod of the shepherd will accompany you to the nearest hamlet. Near by the village Pagrati, there is the famous "vine branch" of Pausanias, with very big branches, dating back to thousands of years. After that you'll spy villages climbing up a ravine (Aroania, 930 m.), others smothered in fir trees (Kertezi, 1050 m.). The houses are all made of stone, with roofs of tile. If you look hard, you'll even find traditional houses with towers. All the villages have their main square, fountain with gushing water, little cafe or taverna. Kertezi is renowned for its bean soup and glorious wine. And each place has a story to tell, whether about its Byzantine church and miraculous icon, its local castle or distant myth. Whoever you meet will greet you like a dear old friend. And it won't take long before you really are friends. It will be hard to drag yourself away. The country folk are a warm presence in Achaia. Their tables are laden with bread, olives, cheese, wine and kindness.
