The Acheron River flows through the Epirus region, about 30 kilometers east of Parga. It stretches about 52 kilometers and ends at the Ionian Sea near the village of Ammoudia. It combines stunning landscapes, cool waters, and ancient legend.

According to Greek mythology, the Acheron was the “River of Souls.” Ancient stories claimed it led to the underworld. Today, visitors come not for fear, but for natural beauty, adventure, and peace. 

Most visitors begin their journey near the village of Glyki. From there, well-marked trails run alongside the river. These trails lead through dense vegetation, wooden bridges, and small waterfalls. Along the way, hikers find scenic views and quiet resting spots. 

Moreover, adventure seekers find plenty to do. Rafting and kayaking attract both beginners and experienced paddlers. Local tour companies offer gear and guided trips. Most tours start in Glyki and follow safe but exciting routes. Additionally, horseback riding tours provide another fun way to explore the area. Riders often follow riverside paths and cross shallow streams.

Access to the Acheron River is easy by car. The road from Glyki is smooth and clearly marked. Parking is available near the main entry points. Although buses serve a few areas in the region, renting a car allows greater freedom and comfort.
