Nikopolis, also known as the 'city of victory', was founded in 29 BC by Gaius Julius Caesar Octavian to commemorate his victory over Marc Antony and Cleopatra at the nearby naval battle of Actium in 31 BC
The monument of Zaloggo is located a short distance from the archaeological site of Kassopi, from where, according to history, 63 women of Sοuli villages fell off the cliff with their children in 1803 dancing, so as not to be captured by the soldiers of Ali Pasha (1788-1822)
Acherontas strait and Estuary area is one of the 18 natural sites that have been recognized as the most remarkable in the whole region.
In this area the most famous nekromanteion (or oracle of the dead) of the ancient Greek world is spotted which lies near the northwest shores of the Acherousian lake.
Homer provides the earliest reference to the necromanteion of Acheron in his Odyssey, when Circe advises Ulysses to meet Teiresias, the blind seer, in the underworld in order to get an oracle for his return to Ithaka

We joined the tour w/Helen, and our driver/guide Ioannis. So much to SEE and TAKE IN. The remains of the temple of Augustus, Battle of Actium, the Oracle of Nikopolis, (this is weird), The monument of Zalongo: where in 1803 women & children jumped to their death. "live free or die" this was our work out for the day 400+ steps. Then lunch at Acheron Springs. Hard to believe we fit this all in, with an hour to spare prior to the ship disembarking. The VALUE for the $$ was EXCEPTIONAL Tim & Candace
