The Kalavryta Massacre (or Kalavryta Holocaust) refers to the execution of the male population and the total destruction of the town of Kalavryta in Greece, by soldiers of the German 117th Commando Division, during the Occupation, on December 13, 1943.
"Operation Kalavryta" began on December 4, as a massive reprisal for the execution, by the rebels, of 77 German prisoners of war, who had been captured after the victory of ELAS forces in the Battle of Kerpini, on October 20, 1943. In total, according to with the younger historians, 677 civilians were executed, of which 499 were in Kalavryta, and about 1,000 houses in over 50 villages were set on fire. In fact, the Nazi troops also seized material goods, food and animals in order, according to the leadership of the Division, to deprive the inhabitants of the villages of their living conditions.

The historic Monastery of Agia Lavra, 5 km southwest of the town of Kalavryta, is the cradle of our national past. It is a pan-Hellenic national religious pilgrimage of the first magnitude and one of the oldest Monasteries of the Greek and especially of the Peloponnesian area, a true symbol of the region. Initially associated with the Great Lavra of Athos, it has a history corresponding to its three Catholics at times: Old Monastery, Historical Church, Modern Form. It was the theater of war events of the great Uprising of 1821 and claims the vanguard of the Struggle with the proclamation of the Greek Revolution by the Old Patronus Germanos, under the dome of its Church. The most valuable treasure found in the monastery is the Banner of the Oath of the Agonists of 1821, the first flag of the Greek Nation, the weapons of the Agonists and the vestments of the Archbishop of Old Patras Germanos, documents, images and Gospels of incalculable artistic and national value. Also, the statue of "Saint Alexios the man of God", patron of the Martyr City of Kalavryta, whose memory is commemorated on March 17, stands out.

On the dominant hill north of the Monastery of Agia Lavra, near Kalavryta, stands the nation's largest and brightest monument. He is the Hero of the fighters of the Revolution of 1821, who sacrificed themselves for the independence of the Greek nation from the Turkish yoke. The unveiling of the monument in its current form took place on March 24, 1971.
The Hero consists of a composition of three figures representing the participation of the clergy and fighters in the Revolution of 1821 and the freedom of the Greek nation from the Turkish conqueror.

The most amazing holy pilgrimage of Orthodoxy in the Peloponnese is the Holy Monastery of M. Spileos, which is awe-inspiring, as it is located in the shadow of a steep rock at an altitude of 940 m. It took its name from the vertical rocky complex of Helmos, on which it is built the only. Today, eight stories high, it rises "stuck" to the rock, captivating even the most indifferent visitor. What everyone should know is that the monastery is considered the oldest in Greece. More specifically, it was built in 362 AD. by the Thessalonian brother monks, Simeon and Theodore. The story goes as follows: While the two were in Jerusalem, they each separately saw an apparition that gave them a specific command. She said that they should go to Achaia and find the Holy Icon of the Virgin Mary made of mastic and wax, crafted by the Evangelist Luke. Indeed, after many continuous wanderings and other dreams, they met there in 362 AD. daughter Euphrosyne, a shepherdess from the village of Galata, i.e. today's Zachlorou. Euphrosyne led them to the cave where the sought-after Holy Icon was located, which had been discovered earlier by the "Divine Assembly" herself, and with the instruction of a goat from the herd of her, who was going to the cave to drink water from the spring that was there.
During the times of the Turkish occupation, because it was a center of resistance against the conquerors, it was attacked many times, but it was never conquered. The proud, heroic response of the abbot Damascenes in June 1827 to Ibrahim is well known. "... for us to worship it is impossible ... if you come here to fight us and defeat us, it is not a great harm, because you will defeat priests, but if you are defeated ... it will be a shame for you ... " and indeed he was defeated afterwards from an epic struggle and the help of the Virgin Mary. Only during the occupation (December 1943) was the Monastery looted, the monks paid for the atrocities of the Nazis, thrown onto a steep rock, where they were killed. The remaining cells from the 1934 fire were set on fire.
