Trek at Acherontas river the gate of the underworld

Join Acheron Outdoors on a unique River Trekking adventure along the mythical Acheron River, known as the passage to the underworld!

Admire the breathtaking vistas of Acheron's narrows and the majestic rocky peaks of Souli. Our journey continues to modern and traditional bridges, including the Dalas Bridge, showcasing remnants of an old watermill. Immersed in the river's flow, we trek back to Glyki, engaging in River Trekking through its bed. Amidst towering white cliffs, we relish the untouched natural landscape of the gorge, savoring cool water gushing through rock clefts. Resting at one of the river's beaches, we rejuvenate with a delightful picnic! Towards the end, we encounter the 'Dragon Hole' or 'Elemental Cave', one of the river's largest and coldest springs! Exiting the water, we conclude our adventure back at our starting point.

Corfu: Acheron River Trekking Tour with Ferry Trip

A truly unique experience to walk through one of the nicest and remote canyons of Epirus into the river Acheron known from the Greek Mythology as the river that was flowing into the lake from which the ferryman used to carry the dead people in the underworld. Now days of course, all those belong to history. Instead of the myth you will live a great adventure! Feel the clear, fresh water at your feet, admire the imposing rocks surrounding the canyon and, swim in a small part of the river. Water is so clear that you can drink as it gushing from the rock! The end of our route with the magnificent small waterfalls at the river source is a moment to capture and remember forever! This is one of the activities that words are too poor to describe! Your feelings and emotions at the end of the day will arise the question…”when do we come back again”?
