Achaia
Being Peloponnese’s largest city and one of the country’s most significant ports, Patras is without doubt the capital of the carnival and fun. It was Patras that made the small yet miraculous Corinthian black raisin famous in all of Europe. It was also here that the first spark of Independence was lit, in the heart of Agia Lavra, where the flag of the Greek revolution still waves. In the arms of mount Helmos you will find Styx, a spring, sacred even to the Olympian Gods, where Thetis bathed her son, Achiles, to be immortal and invulnerable, giving him eternal glory. In Achaia, there is also a place of mourning, Kalavryta, where a hideous crime took place.
