Taverna Acherontas sits just 20 metres from the crystalline waters of the Acheron River, one of the most enchanting natural landscapes in Greece. Surrounded by ancient sycamore and plane trees, our terrace offers a dining experience unlike any other.
Dip your feet into the refreshing current, let the children splash in the shallow pebbled waters, and breathe the cool river air as you enjoy traditional Epirote cooking made from fresh, local ingredients.
Ideal for families, couples, and nature lovers — Taverna Acherontas is not just a meal. It is an escape to the real, unhurried Greece.

We spent a magnificent afternoon here — kids splashing happily in the shallow river while we enjoyed fresh-grilled meats and local wine in the shade of ancient sycamores. A truly special place.
The food is exceptional — everything fresh, local, generous portions. But what makes Acherontas unique is the setting: you are literally dining metres from the river. We went back three times in one week.
Perfect family taverna. The children loved the clear river water just steps away. We had lamb chops and river trout — both outstanding. A hidden gem of northern Greece.
Beautiful location right on the Acheron with lovely shade and a cool breeze from the water. The traditional recipes are prepared with great care and love.
The best way to experience the real Acheron. Eat well, drink cold local wine, then cool your feet in the river. This is what Greek summer is truly about.

The Acheron Springs are among the most extraordinary natural wonders of Epirus, just 2 kilometres from our taverna. Here the river emerges from its underground journey through the Souli gorge, flowing through lush forests and shallow emerald pools.
The springs form a natural sanctuary of rare beauty — ideal for short hikes, refreshing swims, and exploring the unique riverside ecosystem. Many of our guests combine a long lunch at Acherontas with an afternoon excursion to the springs.
Reach out for reservations, group bookings, or any questions about your visit. We respond promptly and look forward to welcoming you to the Acheron.
