Parga Attractions. In this Parga, Greece travel video we take you with us to the Acheron River (Ποταμός Αχέροντας). The Acheron River is also called the Acheron Springs and in Greek it is called Ποταμός Αχέροντας in Greek. We will take you on a walk up the river, do some river rafting and some horse riding and of course stop for a beverage or two, before and after our tour of the Acheron River.
To get to the Acheron River or Acheron Springs as they are also called, we rented a car and drove there ourselves. The distance between Parga Town and the Acheron River (Ποταμός Αχέροντας) is approximately 28 kilometers and the drive takes around 30 minutes. For those who do not have access to a Rental Car, there are plenty of travel agencies in Parga Town organizing day tours to the Acheron River.
Wiki writes about the Acheron River, "The Acheron (/ˈækərən/; Ancient Greek: Ἀχέρων Acheron or Ἀχερούσιος Acherousios; Greek: Αχέροντας Acherontas) is a river located in the Epirus region of northwest Greece. It is 52 km (32 mi) long, and its drainage area is 705 km2 (272 sq mi). Its source is near the village Zotiko, in the southwestern part of the Ioannina regional unit and it flows into the Ionian Sea in Ammoudia, near Parga.
In ancient Greek mythology, Acheron was known as the "river of woe", and was one of the five rivers of the Greek underworld. The word is of uncertain etymology.
In the Homeric poems, the Acheron was described as a river of Hades, into which Cocytus and Phlegethon both flowed.. The Roman poet Virgil called it the principal river of Tartarus, from which the Styx and Cocytus both sprang. The newly dead would be ferried across the Acheron by Charon in order to enter the Underworld.."
