What to expect
The Nekromanteion of Acheron is an ancient Greek temple of necromancy devoted to Hades and Persephone. It is located near the northwestern shores of Lake Acherousia, at the point where the rivers of Hades, Acheron and Cocytus, meet. The site was believed by devotees to be the door to Hades, the realm of the dead. The faithful came here to talk with their dead ancestors, and the temple was used for elaborate ceremonies and rituals. The site includes a ziggurat-like temple, a central courtyard, and a series of meandering corridors. The acoustics of the underground hall are remarkable, and the site has been compared to an imposing funerary monument. Visitors can explore the ruins and learn about the history and mythology of the site
