There are places in Greece that you visit by "accident" — and then you can never forget. Acherontas Tavern in Glyki is one of them. Built literally over the waters of the Acheron — the river that has enchanted humans since antiquity — it offers an experience that goes beyond a "nice view."
Imagine sitting at a table beneath gigantic plane trees, with the rushing, crystal-clear river flowing right beneath your feet. In the summer, you can dip your toes into the icy water while waiting for your meal. Surrounded by the rugged terrain, lush vegetation, and mountain serenity of the Thesprotia region, every visit feels like an escape from another era.
