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.

May 28, 2025,Die Quellen des Acheron (Badeschuhe mitnehmen)🌞🌤️

Since Komoot stole all the photos at @Lilli, I'll have to use my recordings now🤷🏻‍♂️.
So we headed to the top highlight of this region, the springs of the Acheron.
We first hiked a little further upstream through breathtaking landscapes, which allowed us to avoid the other tourists.
We had to abandon our plan to get into the water 💦 …

A beautiful tour that gets a great upgrade in summer with a return route through the Acheron. Pack a waterproof backpack and hike through the river and swim short distances 😁💪

The tour leads to an entry into the river on land, and back through the water.
It's really deep at times and occasionally you have to jump off a rock into the water, so definitely not for toddlers or non-swimmers!
Highly recommended, but leave early to avoid the crowds.
At the end of the hike/beginning of the gorge you meet …
