The Kalavryta Municipal Museum is devoted solely to the massacre of innocent civilians by the German Wehrmacht which took place not only in Kalavryta but also the entire region during December 1943. Entire villages were attacked and destroyed and males over 12 years of age gunned down in an attempt to destroy the resistance movement in the Peloponeese. The Museum explains it all in graphic detail and the last room one visits contains the photographs of all the known victims and the small number of survivors of whom only 3 are believed to be alive in the world today. There is also a video archive which details the lives of those who were executed and those who survived. The Museum details the sites of the memorials which exist in the area in local villages and communities and these are well worth a visit if you want to get an idea of the true scale and enormity of what took place.

The monastery is dedicated to the hero of Greek resistance Petmezas, whose personal belongings you can see in the museum.. Highly recommend.

Historic place with a lot of people everyday. Nice view of the valley and a lot of things to see inside and outside of the church.

The cave wasn't really very big - we could see only 3 lakes of about 20 existing - but it was really beautiful, with sophisticated geological formations. I had been to many caves before and this one was among the most beautiful ones. However, the guide led us through the caves very quickly, only on our way back could we stop and look at the formations a bit longer. I regret it's forbidden to take photos inside the caves. Anyway, it was a great experience and I recommend a visit there when you are near Kalavryta.
