Οδοντωτός, Odontotos : In Diakofto is the railroad station from where the small train odontotos(Rack Railway) starts its ride to Kalavryta in one of the most beautiful spots of Peloponissos. The train built by the Italians in 1885 travels 22 km(from Kalavryta to Diakofto)at a very low speed..The narrow gauge tracks follow the stream bed of the Vouriakos river and the little train winds through past streams climbing the fantastic narrow gorge up into the mountains, through tunnels, over waterfalls, along cliffs and through forests of pine and oleander. When the incline gets really steep it switches from regular track to a cog system. Ocassionally you pass people hiking down the gorge and the train has to slow down to a crawl while the pedestrians hug on the walls of the cliffs..
