Ιστορικές φωτο από το Λουτράκι [Historic photos of Loutraki]

[Nicholas Peppas]

Loutraki has had a distinct position in the early years of passenger travel In Greece. Before the opening of the Corinth Canal, passengers were arriving in Kalamaki, they were transferred to Loutraki and were starting again from there. But even after the Canal was opened, Loutraki was a very popular spa city.... Don't forget that 80 years ago "vacation" did not have the same meaning as now...

Here is a June 20, 1912 schedule of the John MacDowell Line showing a route of Piraeus, Loutraki, Patras, Corfu and Brindisi.
