The river springs from the area known by the name of the village Glykí at an altitude of 1.600 metres in the mountains of Soúli and discharges in the area of Ammoudiá on the Ionian coast. The Acheron River is an ecosystem that is recognized and a protected area by the Natura 2000 Network. In Ancient Greek mythology the river Acheron was known as the river of pain and was one of the five rivers of the Greek underworld. According to legend, the souls of the dead were transported to the other side of the river Acheron, towards the god of the underground world Hades, and the goddess Thetis bathed her son Achilles in this river, holding him for heel, giving him immortality. Today, Acheron River is an attraction for tourists, where they can try rafting, canoeing, mountain biking, fishing, but above all where they can enjoy the beautiful nature. Along the river there are several restaurants and cafes. You can use a trip to this river to visit the Nekromanteion, an ancient sanctuary dedicated to the god of the underworld, Hades. In it, the communication with dead souls took part, and visit to the crypts and corridors that led to the underground world can be so exciting.
