at the source of / at the headwaters of Explanation: I'm sure any of the two expressions are fine. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2009-09-20 16:34:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In response to Ellen Kraus, I agree that entry or even entrance would be good too. With "opening", one might think of the river opening into the Ionian Sea where the Ambracian Gulf disembogues. "Source" and "Headwaters" are the literal meaning of the word "είσοδος" when it refers to a river. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_%28river_or_stream%29 |

at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf Explanation: Χωρίς να διαφωνώ με κάποια από τις άλλες απαντήσεις, ήταν η πρώτη, αυθόρμητη επιλογή που μου ήρθε στο μυαλό, η οποία υποστηρίζεται από αναφορές σε εγκυκλοπαίδειες (βλ. web references παρακάτω). Παράδειγμα: Cuba, at the mouth of the Gulf of Mexico, is the biggest island of the region.
