A sanctuary near Nysa known for its temple of Pluto, where healing was sought in antiquity, and the "Charonion" cave.
Its story
Acharaka lies around Salavatlı, on the road from Tralleis to Nysa, about 4 km from Nysa. Ancient sources mention a temple dedicated to Pluto and Kore and a cave called the Charonion, where priests healed the sick. The geothermal springs and gas vents in the area are thought to have formed the basis of these beliefs. The remains are limited and in a rural area.
