The feel: Cold, clear river water and shady walks.
Good to know: Bring water shoes; the river is cold all summer.
Where to aim
The Acherontas Narrows and paths near Glyki are an inland destination. They are distinct from the river mouth at Ammoudia. Save the right starting point before you drive.
Choose your level
A riverside visit and a route through water require different preparation. Ask locally about the day’s water conditions and the exact route. If joining an activity, describe your group’s ability honestly so the provider can advise.
Pack for the outing
Take secure footwear, drinking water and a dry change of clothes if you expect to get wet. Do not assume a route is suitable simply because a photograph shows someone wading there.
