ACHERON GORGEWalk in the water, against the current. In some points you will probably need to swim in the crystal clear waters of Acherontas. When you enter the gorge you will see one of the most beautiful sceneries in Greece.
Walk in the river until its affluent “Dala stream”, where the ruined bridge is. If you cannot stand the water or if the time of the year is not right, you can reach this place from the old Souliotes pathway Skala tis Tzavelenas which nowadays has been reconstructed. We suggest going up the stream to its springs and the reconstructed mill. The pathway to Souli starts from here. |
DOLPHIN CRUISEThis hidden paradise is revealed during a whole day cruise, on a traditional wooden boat that starts from the port of Preveza.

As you sail deeper into the bay, the friendly and scientifically educated crew will introduce you to that place and explain how its rich natural environment defined its history.

Necromanteion of Ephyra: the oracle of the deadThe ancient Greeks believed that after you die, the soul will descend into the underworld via subterranean passages. There were several oracles in Greece, who were thought to be portals through which the gods could communicate directly with the people. In order to communicate with the dead, one would have to visit the oracle in Epirus, in the ancient temple of necromancy, devoted to Hades and Persephone, on the banks of the Acheron river.
