The mystery behind the Greek village where time stopped at 2:34 because...

On the forested slopes of the Chelmos Mountains in Greece’s northern Peloponnese sits a truly unique village. Kalavryta initially looks just like a classic alpine retreat. You'll spot stone houses lining quiet streets, and snow-capped peaks in the background. But take a closer look at the town’s main church, and you'll notice something strange on its bell tower, two clocks. One shows the actual time. The other hasn't ticked past 2:34 pm in decades.
