Nekromanteion Oct 1974

Sunny day (!!) at the Nekromanteion (Νεκρομαντεῖον, Oracle of the Dead) on the banks of the Acheron River in Epirus, northern Greece We made a quick stop to check it out on our way home to Glyfada after getting off the ferry in Igoumenitsa. We're not in gray cold continental Europe any more. :-)

October 1974

Unfortunately, this is probably NOT the real Nekromanteion, but rather a fortified farm house from the 2nd century BC.

As always, the Wiki knows all: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necromanteion_of_Acheron
