Acheron Delta, Greece: Hell is Closed for Renovation

10,000 Birds

We tried yesterday to visit the Nekromanteio of Afyra, the very entrance of ancient Greek’s Hades, but the world of the dead was locked up (well, not really for renovation, but for further research at this archeological site, after the height of a tourist season). On a wire by the road, one European Bee-eater awaits me.

BIRDING ACHERON: Hell is closed for renovation

10,000 Birds

We tried yesterday to visit the Nekromanteio of Afyra , the very entrance of ancient Greek’s Hades, but the world of the dead was locked up (well, not really for renovation, but for further research and digging at this archeological site). I can still hear the gunshots and hope that the hunters really do shoot only the flying birds.
