Private Untamed Epirus: Souli, Acheron Trek & Gastronomy｜Greece

Begin your adventure in the comfort of a luxury vehicle, whether you are enjoying your holidays in Syvota or Parga, arriving by cruise ship at the Port of Igoumenitsa, or staying in Preveza or Lefkada.
Leave the coast behind and ascend towards the rugged and proud land of Tetrachori (Souli, Kiafa, Avarikos, Samoniva). Begin your tour at the historic Wells and the Council House of the chieftains.
From the rugged peaks of the Souli mountains to the crystalline, mythical waters of the Acheron River, every moment is curated for the discerning traveler who seeks privacy, history, and culinary mastery.


The Legend of Souli: History & Hiking
Our first stop is the historic "Tetrachori" of Souli. Feel the pulse of Greek history as you explore legendary Kougi, the site of the epic sacrifice of 1803, and the historical stone Wells. Activate your senses with an invigorating 30-minute hike to the imposing Castle of Kiafa. Perched at an altitude of 460 meters, the fortress offers unparalleled 360-degree panoramic views of the rugged landscape and the deep gorge carved by the Acheron River.

Serenity at the Watermills
After our descent, we find absolute serenity at the restored Souli Watermills. Under the shade of ancient plane trees and to the sound of flowing springs, you will enjoy a "Welcome Snack", an authentic Epirotic treat featuring traditional spirits (tsipouro) or coffee, allowing you to decompress before the adventure peaks.

The Mythical Acheron: River Trekking
We continue to the region's most iconic trail: Skala Tzavelenas. This cobblestone path, suspended high above the gorge, offers the most breathtaking vantage points for photography. The path leads us to the "Gate of Hades", the Springs of Acheron. Accompanied by our expert, certified escort, you will experience a unique river-trekking adventure through the crystalline waters. As you navigate the canyon, mythology comes to life through narrations of Charon and the journey to the Underworld.

The "catharsis" of this expedition takes place on the riverbanks. We have secured a private setting at a strictly selected restaurant right where the Acheron springs gush forth. Here, you will indulge in a full traditional lunch featuring premium local meats and authentic recipes. Your culinary journey is elevated by a curated Tasting Experience: choose between three premium local wine labels or a sampling of select, double-distilled Epirotic spirits.
