Nestled on the northeastern coast of the #Peloponnese, on the #Argolid #Peninsula, Epidaurus offers a captivating blend of historical intrigue and #natural beauty.
It lies 126 km southwest of #Athens, 60 km south of #Corinth and 36 km east of #Nafplio. The distance between the settlement of Archaia Epidavros and the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus itself is 16 km.
Two villages bear the name #Epidavros; Archaia Epidavros and Nea Epidavros, which are surrounded by fascinating ancient ruins and authentic nature. This place was named after the hero Epidauros, son of #Apollo.
#Archaia Epidavros is nestled along the Saronic Gulf, offering panoramic views. Explore the charming harbour, the colourful streets and alleys of the town, full of aromas and picturesque corners. Take a stroll at the #promenade and enjoy fresh seafood at seaside tavernas. The village is an ideal base for those seeking a peaceful retreat with easy #access to both archaeological wonders and pristine beaches.
A fantastic #experience is waiting for you at the #Sunken city of Ancient Epidaurus, an underwater archaeological safari at the lacy shores of the #Mediterranean.
At the foot of the #Acropolis of Ancient Epidauros is located the so-called "Small Theatre of Epidauros", built during the 4th C BC and dedicated to #Dionysus. Every #summer cultural events take place in the theatre.
The church of St. #Nikolaos dominates the skyline, while the most popular beaches of the area are #Kalamaki beach, #Yialasi beach and #Polemarcha beach, a secluded bay surrounded by a pine forest, not easily accessible. The historic #monastery of the same name worths your attention.
Nea Epidavros is a settlement built in the interior part of a steep rock not visible from the sea, so the inhabitants were protected from #Pirates in the old days. Discover the medieval #Castle, the local beach and the #marina!
The #crown jewel of Epidaurus is its ancient theatre, a #marvel of classical #Greek architecture.
