Gates of Underworld (3 Days Tour)

Overview

Why this tour? For us, there are countless reasons that answer this “why”, let us mention only two.             The Acheron River is the road to the underworld, the dark kingdom of the god Pluto or Hades. Acheron in Greek means: “without joy”, so the river of sorrow. Here, in this river, Charon is always waiting with his boat, the guide of souls, god Hermes to hand over the souls of the dead people, to lead them to the kingdom of Hades. Even today, we are used to putting a coin in the pockets of the dead, it is necessary for him to be able to pay Charon. These are the myths described … and there are many here!

There are two other rivers here, even today: the Pyriflegedontas (fiery) and the Kokytos (lament). Where the three rivers meet, on the NW shores of Lake Acherousia, is the entrance to Hades, according to myths and Homer. Here is the Oracle of the Dead, which we will visit. This is where the visitors ended up, to communicate with the souls of their loved ones. With proper preparation, we too can achieve this … Of course we cannot promise you this, but it is impossible not to be touched by the magic of the landscape here!

This is the strange privilege of Greece: while everywhere in the world mountains are just mountains and rivers are just rivers, here are the places of myths! These myths were the beginnings of today’s Western civilization.

It is not only the myths and history that are of interest in Greece.  It is also the wonderful landscapes, this unique blue of the Sea, the Mediterranean cuisine and much more.

Parga is a beautiful colorful preserved village, with fantastic beaches.

I think it is wonderful to fill images and emotions! For us that will be the goal!
