Prefecture of Achaia Travel Guide: 360 reviews and 789 photos

The northwest part of Peloponnese

Ahaia has two sides to visit: the coast side villages with the exceptional beaches and the mountains with forests full of chestnut trees and pine trees.
For those who prefer skiing there is the Helmou Skiing Resort during winter.

Patras is the capital of the county and the biggest city in Peloponnese, and a major portal to Greece for foreigners because of the harbour. The city is well known for the Carnival.

Hoping to make the journey on the Diakofto train in May, so very helpful. We made the ferry crossing from Rio to Andhirrio in 1997, little knowing that the fantastic bridge would be built in years to come.
