Nidrí Bay, sheltered by a screen of little islands covered with cypress and olive trees, is an enchanting place due to its natural countours, balmy air and clear light. From the popular resort of Nidrí there are boat trips around the bay which take in Madourí Island; Skorpiós Island, owned by Aristotle Onassis; Agía Kiriakí peninsula; and Meganíssi Island. Nearby is beautiful Vlihó Bay.

This magnificent (17C) hump-backed bridge spanning the Árahthos on the edge of town is known throughout the Balkans. It has inspired several legends; one recounts that the architect used his wife's body to reinforce the foundations. The elegant curve of its wide arches alternates with smaller ones, which ease the flow of water when the river is in spate.

A chapel on a rocky hill near the Acheron and the site of Lake Acheroussía marks the location of the Nekromanteion, a sanctuary dedicated to Hades and Persephone at the entrance to the Underworld where the Ancients came to consult the spirits of the Dead through the oracle. The traces of the building that are now visible are Hellenistic (3C BC), but the Nekromanteion was already in existence in the Mycenaean period (1550-1100 BC). It comprised a series of corridors and rooms culminating in the sanctuary itself.
