• Acherontas River
  

  Acheron is a river of the Epirus Region and crosses the prefectures of Ioannina, Thesprotia and Preveza. Its springs are many, with the first being the springs from Mount Tomaros, from the mountains of Souli and the mountains of Paramythia, but also those of the village of Glyki in Thesprotia. Its mouth is the Ionian Sea and the village of Ammoudia Prevezis. The length of the river amounts to 52 km, which have been explored, with the most recent section being the 10 km Haradra of Acheron in June 1994 by the EOS team of Preveza.

  According to mythology, Acheron was the river where the "soul transmitter" Hermes delivered the souls of the dead to Charon to end up in Hades. However, the Ancient Necromantheum of Acheron, today's village of Mesopotamos, allowed visitors to communicate with the souls of their dead relatives.

  The Acheron River is divided into parts with the most important being the Mountainous part, the Narrows of the Acheron (Haradra), the "Gates of Hades", the sources of the Acheron at Vouvopotamos, from Charadra to Nekromanteio and the floating part of the Acheron - the forest of Persephone-the mouth of the river.

  The intense changing morphology of the river combined with the flora and fauna that it has create a magical place, which visitors can enjoy through various activities, such as canoeing, kayaking, rafting, hiking.
