Λόταν λες Διακοφτό .. που εννοεις;

Ε, τι πού? Στο Διακοφτό Αιγιαλείας... για το οποίο η wikipedia γράφει τα εξής ξεκαρδιστικά:

Diakopto or Diakofto (Greek: Διακοπτό, Katharevousa: -on), older forms: Diakopton and Diakofto is a municipality in Achaea, Greece. Population app. 7,005 (2001).

Its logo is stylistic and modernized. The scribbly form of the letter delta is on the right over the golden wave. A gray line is on the right end. The three main features are over the purple rock wall with a golden rim, ordered from top to bottom, it features the ancient column from Diakopto, its ancient theatre and the rack railway. The municipal name written in Greek is at the bottom.

Its geography consists of farmlands that stretch as far as 500 m from the gulf. Its main production includes olives, fruits and vegetables, pastures and other crops. The mountains cover the southern portion with forests dominating the greater part with some grasslands and bushes and rocks and ledges especially in the gorge located to the south. The Vouraikos river flows about 1 km west Diakopto. It (ο Βουραϊκός?) has a beach located 1 km north of the town centre.

The village was ruled by the Ottoman Turks with some interruption by the Venetians in the mid to late-15th century and the mid to late-16th century. Diakopto was finally Greek after the Greek War of Independence of 1821, right after the signing of the declaration of independence.

Υπάρχει ένας τεράστιος αριθμός άρθρων στη Wikipedia για ελληνικά χωριά, όλα γραμμένα από τον ίδιο άνθρωπο, ο οποίος δεν έχει καμία σχέση με λογική και ελάχιστες γνώσεις γεωγραφίας, ιστορίας και αγγλικών. Δυστυχώς όσο περνάει ο καιρός τα άρθρα "χτενίζονται" από άλλους και γίνονται σωστότερα μεν αλλά λιγότερο αστεία. Πάντως αξίζει ακόμη να χαζέψει κανείς, διότι βρίσκει ακόμη μαργαριτάρια.

π.χ. εκεί δίπλα, για το Αίγιο, μας πληροφορεί :

with a population of around 30,000, with several town squares, a bus terminal and a fountain downtown.
The mountains of the Panachaicus and Erymanthus are rarely seen. (και τα Ιμαλάια το ίδιο, αλλά ας μην το κάνουμε θέμα)
The city has a hospital found slightly west of the city, and a rest area situated south of the city at GR-8A/E65. Charming residential houses surround the city and flourish in the western part of Aigio
Aegium split from the Roman Empire and became a part of the Eastern Roman Empire (!!)
Its population expanded later on and received its train station.

Κάτω Αχαΐα: The centre of town sits by a ravine and is lined, further down is the OSE train tracks.... The beaches north and northwest of Kato Achaïa has hotels including the Dymi Hotel are operated by West Achaia Association of Hotels was famous for tourism....Forests are founded within valleys and the northwest along with a small hill.

Αιγείρα: It has a train station with no building connecting the railway line with Patras - Aigio - Aigira - Derveni - Xylokastro - Kiato - Corinth... Mountains are founded to the south. Forests are founded to the west and east. One of the hill foundede south is named Palaiokastro....It changed its name to the present name as the defenders achieved victory and the people bounded for the goats (??? ??) and attacked the enemies.

Ακράτα: The location is in a valley with two mountaintops....The urban area is on both mountains...In 1998 under the Capodistrian Plan, the municipality was enlarged to include every village and town in the municipality.
...
The municipality is also famous for its beaches, which lie near the Gulf of Corinth, and overlooks the gulf. (πρώτη φορά ακούω για παραλίες που δεν είναι ΑΚΡΙΒΩΣ πάνω στη θάλασσα αλλά απλώς κοντά της...)
The mountains lie to the south and are mainly grassy and bushy. The forests are within the Gulf of Corinth to the north.
(Α, γι' αυτό οι παραλίες είναι κοντά στη θάλασσα, αφού η θάλασσα η ίδια έχει δάση και δεν έμεινε χώρος)
Lake Tsivlos is by the road linking Akrata and Zarouchla. In Peristera, it has the spring of Golfos (Αυτό θα πει "Η πηγή της Γκόλφως", φαντάζομαι) which was filmed in Gkolfo. (Τάσο! Εφαρμακώθηκα!)

History
In the mid-20th century, the roads were paved and the villages first received electricity.
... Firefighters battled the blaze from its curvy roads and helicopters and planes sprayed to stop the fire. The fire lasted for several hours.
