Renowned since antiquity river Acheron, stems from the mountains in the prefecture of Ioannina and discharges through a 65 km scenic route to the Ionian Sea. The Straits of Acheron, the gorge formed by the mountains of Paramythia and Souli, is a remarkable natural setting. The exit of  the canyon is near the village named Glyki.

Necromancy
In the village Messopotamos, a short distance from the beach, you will find the archaeological site of necromancy. The existence of the oracle is estimated in ancient times, and  the major buildings were added in the third and second century BC. Built on a hill northwest of Lake Acherousian over a cave is an impressive sight. Here in ancient times was believed to be the Gates of Hades, the entrance of the souls of the dead to the underworld. The famous oracle accepted each year large crowds of pilgrims. Through a mystical process that lasted several days, they thought that they could communicate with the souls of the dead and learn what they had requested.

Lake Acherousia
In antiquity, the confluence of  the rivers Acheron,  Kokytos and Vovou,  formed the lake Acherousia. The lake covered the area between the villages Kastri,  Acherousia, Kanalaki, Chohla and Mesopotamia. According to the ancient Greeks, the boat was carrying the souls of the dead to Hades, with the boatman Charon starting from Oracle and headed towards the depths of the lake, where there were the so-called “Gates of Hell.”

Efyra
It is the oldest city of the continent and you will find it 500 meters from the Oracle. It was built in 13-14 century BC by Mycenaean colonists and was an important trading centre since the days of Homer. Often referred to the Odyssey and other tales. Today only parts of the outer wall and two tombs from the Iron Age are saved. The city was destroyed by the Romans in 167 BC, like other 69 cities in Epirus.
