The Zaloggo monument is situated a short distance from the archaeological site of Kassopi. According to history, in 1803, 63 women from the Souli villages, along with their children, leapt from the cliff while dancing to avoid capture by the soldiers of Ali Pasha (1788-1822).
The Acherontas Strait and Estuary area is recognized as one of the 18 most remarkable natural sites in the entire region. In this area, the most renowned nekromanteion (or oracle of the dead) of the ancient Greek world can be found, located near the northwest shores of Lake Acherousian.
Homer provides the earliest mention of the necromanteion of Acheron in his “Odyssey,” where Circe advises Ulysses to consult Teiresias, the blind prophet, in the underworld to receive guidance for his return to Ithaca.
