Epirus Mystery Tour

4.2/5
30 reviews

Mixing history, nature and mythology, this full day tour takes you to see some mainland gems, which are only a stone's throw from Lefkada. You'll take photos in Nicopolis, cross the River Acheron by boat and wind up at the pretty seaside town of Parga.

After crossing over to mainland Greece, you'll make a photo stop by the Early Christian Walls of ancient Nicopolis. Learn about this ‘City of Victory' and take a few pics before heading to Ammoudia. Here, you'll board a boat and glide on one of the most mythical landmarks of the ancient world – the River Acheron. Legend said it was where the souls of the dead would pass through to Hades and the underworld. It's also home to many species of birds.

And finally, you'll reach Parga, known as the ‘jewel of Epirus'. You'll have free time to wander around, head up to the medieval fortress, duck into a taverna for lunch, hit the beach or browse the many jewellers before returning to the island.

    We enjoyed the trip as a whole guide was very good & commentary was very interesting. However we felt we spent a lot of time travelling on the coach & also the river trip could have been a little longer

    The highlight of my trip to Lefkada - it was so interesting learning about the ancient Battle of Actium, which took place in the area, and visiting the ruins of the city built to celebrate the Roman victory. The cruise on River Archeron was also stunning. Finally, we had a few hours in Parga for lunch and shopping. A great day all round!

    For us the whole trip was excellent. The Christian walls could be compared to the Roman Hadrian's wall that we have in northern England. It fascinated me that you could see the areas along the wall where the soldiers would have been stationed as this is what archeologists think was the case with Hadrian's wall but the Christian walls are in a lot better condition than Hadrian's wall. Hadrian's wall is a ruin where the Christian wall's still stand tall. The Odeun ampitheatre was awesome.
