Diakopto is a beautiful seaside town in northern Peloponnese, in the region of Achaia, built at the mouth of the Vouraikos River.

The town boasts rich natural beauty, with crystal-clear beaches, lush landscape, and easy access to both sea and mountain. Diakopto offers a peaceful daily life, while maintaining all essential services: schools, market, services, and infrastructure.
Thanks to its close distance from Athens via the Olympia Odos and the suburban railway, it is a favorite choice for holiday and permanent residences.
