Tips

The Acheron in Epirus (northwest Greece) is the river of the dead in Greek mythology. The ferryman Charon leads the dead across the middle of the river so that they can safely reach the realm of Hades, the world of the dead.

From Gliki you can walk along part of the river.

In summer it is worth walking along the river through the water. In spring the hiking trail next to it offers great views of the Acheron and leads deep into the mountains. Some paths into the mountains to the springs are signposted.

On hot days it is wonderful to enter the coolness of the gorge via the water. Make sure you have good, non-slip shoes that you can use to enter the water and take a waterproof pouch for your phone. You can buy it on the spot. If you walk to the end, you must take into account that you have to wade/swim through the water (depending on your height) and that it is not always possible with a backpack. In spring and autumn this will be too cold through water. What was striking was that the water was very cold at the start, but further on in the gorge the temperature was more pleasant. We walked it at 39 degrees, and had no idea of this temperature until we returned. Blessed.
