We
couldn't cover all this delightful journey
with just a small article, so we are back to tell you more about it.
So many things to talk about and show.
Enjoy...

Rafting
We
already
had the necessary information about the available activities close to
the river banks but people were ready to help us and give more
information to help us enjoy our little trip.
New
experiences are always welcome. So,
soon we got into the raft together with our guide. We prefered
rafting over kayak 'cause it was the first extreme
sport experience in river for all of us. Rafting was easier and, as
we could be all in the same raft we could take some photos all
together.
We
hadn't
have to pass thought white water, so we could relax from time to time
and take some shots or do absolutely nothing and enjoy the great
view. After 3 kilometres (about
1,9 miles) and 18 minutes later
we were in the end of the route, happy
for this fun experience.
The
mountaineering route
Before
leaving Acherontas there was one more thing to do. The
mountaineering route, parallel and
above
the part of the river we swam through
a few hours ago.
We
crossed a tunnel that looked more like small cave with two entrances
and followed
the main path. We walked uphill for about 50 minutes and then dowhill
untill we were again down to the river. It was the end of the route
and we were to the Acheron bridge.
It
was an easy route even for beginners. A few pictures and about half
an hour later we took the way back. About an hour later we were back
to our car ready to start for our next and last -for this trip-
destination, Parga!
In
Parga
After
the all day adventure we were now to the place that
we would spend the night. The tent mount was necessary before do
anything else. We were already tired enough to postpone it.
After
a visit to the cool and clean sea of Parga we took a quick shower
back
to
the camp and got ready for Parga by night. Most of cafes and bars are
to the other side of the hill so we walked up, saw the fortress and
went to the cafe-bar inside for some refreshments.
Down
to the port, first
for some food and
after for a
beer to a
rock bar. The last chalenge of the day was to walk back to the
camping. It was great, but the next day would be only
and only for
resting!
Tips:
If
you visit Acheronta, pay attention to those who work there. They can
give you every information you need to enjoy the place even better.
If
you take the mountaineering route next to the river have in mind that
you gonna spent more than two hours there. Make sure you have enough
water, a hut and a sunblock.
