Welcome to Kalavryta (Καλάβρυτα)!

#Curiosity is now in the "Kalavryta Quad," named after a town in Greece, in northern Peloponnese, about 130km west of Athens and near the Chelmos-Vouraikos UNESCO Global Geopark, a region that consists of 40 unique geological sites including caves, karstic springs, rivers, alpine lakes, and fossil sites.

One of its next targets is the ‘Balcony of Styx.’
