Horseback riding on Acheron, the most authentic contact with nature from Riverdream Club
There are times when you want to escape from the tension of everyday life. To get back in touch with the natural environment. To experience something simple, authentic and full of peace. Riding the Acheron with Riverdream Club is exactly this experience: a slow, calm walk through nature on a gentle and well-trained horse, next to the waters of one of the most mythical rivers in Greece.
Acheron: A river, a story, an escape

Its quiet, clear waters and lush banks create an ideal setting to experience a walk that combines natural beauty, peace of mind and gentle physical activity.
