The Diakopto–Kalavryta railway (Greek: Οδοντωτός σιδηρόδρομος Διακοπτού - Καλαβρύτων, romanized: Odontotós sidiródromos Diakoptoú - Kalavrýton) is a historic 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2-in) gauge rack railway in Greece. Located on the northern Peloponnese, it runs 22 kilometres (14 mi) from Diakopto through the Vouraikos Gorge and the old Mega Spilaion Monastery and up to Kalavryta, stopping en route at Zachlorou. Today, the stations infrastructure and rolling stock are owned and maintained by the GAIAOSE and the line infrastructure Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE) and passenger trains are operated by Hellenic Train. At the Diakopto terminus, the line connects with the new standard-gauge Athens Airport–Patras railway where the new main line tunnels under the station yard. It now takes 2 hours 10 minutes to reach Athens.
