Driving from the chapel of Saint Theodora of Vastas to the city of Megalopolis. This video shows an alternative journey between Saint Theodora's chapel and Megalopoli. You can see the rest of the journey split in three parts:
1) Megalopoli to Isaris: youtube.com/watch?v=BcxU5jKdJBg
2) Isaris village: youtube.com/watch?v=_tT1RlchV-Y
3) Isaris to Saint Theodora of Vasta chapel: youtube.com/watch?v=6N95_ys5BMQ
The chapel is known because of the extraordinary event of the presence of a small forest on the chapel's roof. 17 big trees have grown on the roof of the church and many smaller ones.
You can see some photos from the church with the trees on its roof and the surrounding area here:

Megalopoli is a town in the southwestern part of the regional unit of Arcadia. Its population is 10,687 inhabitants. It is known for its lignite deposits which are being exploited by open-pit mining and its electricity power plant.
Here are some photos of Megalopoli's power plant units and the lignite conveyor belts from my Panormaio account:
