• Acherontas is a river located in the Epirus region and is associated with a myth according to which the souls of the newly-dead were ferried across Acherontas to enter the Underworld. The straights and Delta of the Acherontas River, except from being places of unique beauty and ecological interest, constitute a significant wetland with over 180 species of fauna and flora, some of which are rare. Visitors can find detailed information in the Center of Information in Ammoudia. From there, the small excursion boats cross the Acherontas River and offer a truly unique experience. From Mesopotamo, you can visit the Necromantic Oracle. If you enjoy hiking, you can follow the trail Glyki-Trikastro, which takes about 4 hours. The trail follows the river and crosses the “straights of Acherontas” and the historic steps of Tzavelaina. This is where the Gates of Hades are.

Many species of waterfowls feed and nest in these lagoons, while during the winter months researchers have recorded the largest number of ducks than in any other Greek wetland.
