ACHERON UNDERWORLD RIVER
ACHERON UNDERWORLD RIVER
The river called Acheron with the nearby ruins of the Necromanteion is found near Parga on the mainland opposite Corfu. It springs from the mountains in the Prefecture of Ioannina. It flows into the Ionian Sea after a course of 64 km, helping to create a wide range of ecosystems which are home to and sustain many species of plants and animals. The river cuts across the valley formed by the mountain ranges in Western Epirus and near the Municipal District of Trikastro, and passes through a narrow and magnificent gorge created by the mountains of Paramythia and Souli.
