Wonderful quiet, and quaint town with a beautiful view of the bay. The locals were extremely friendly and accommodating, including the local cat population! The Amphitheatre in the ancient town about 15 minutes drive away is insane.

As we drove to our accommodation at Seaside Epidavros we were greeted instantly with the most amazing smells of orange trees blossoming. I wanted to stay all night in my car to be surrounded by that smell… It was pure Heaven!! Upon arrival, We were greatful for the ease of parking and promptness of our host getting us into our room, and were thrilled with the beauty of the the property (especially the stone walkways and gorgeous vistas all around). Although our room wasnt anything super new or fancy, it was clean, warm, safe and secure and provided everything we needed for our stay! A sunrise walk around the neighborhood felt safe and was filled with stunning scenery. Some streets in the neighborhood are quite steep, so it was easy to work up a sweat returning back up the hills to our room…which made a swim in the nice cold pool overlooking the sea, especially delightful and refreshing! We were also surprised as a family of 5 by how perfectly filling the provided breakfast items were! The fresh oranges (that looked to be straight from a tree nearby) were incredibly sweet, juicy and delicious, and the bread for toast and butter/jams were perfect!! We wished we had booked more nights here! both for the accomodations and to do more in the area. Within 5 min driving distance of the ancient theatre of epidavros and the sunken city (+ 16 min from the healing center of Asclepious and the bigger theatre at asclepious in epidavros…which we origionally thought was the theatre that is 5 min away, but werent at all bothered to drive a bit further to get to), as well as 30-45 min from stops in Nafplion’s Palamidi fortress and the ancient ruins of Mycenae! Hated to leave! Need to come back soon!

The area offers swimming on the Sardonic Sea, orange and lemon groves, and pomegranate groves. There is hiking and of course, the ancient theater and the surrounding grounds. The theater is a UNESCO site. It's a must-see. Go during the festival and see a play as we did.

This is one of the fascinating places with two of the most spectacular theatres with natural acoustics, and best aesthetics. One can also experience under sea Ancient Epidavros with own snorkeling equipment. A tavern called Bolbos has some of the best meats ever tasted at a restaurant at reasonable prices. The seafood restaurants by the sea offered wide range of seafood and home made casserole choices, and plenty of coffee places. The ancient theatre of Epidavros is 10 minutes away with summer open air performances for all tastes. The place is located less than two hours drive from Athens, and other fabulous spots are nearby.

We did not go to see the historical ruins. We went to snorkel above the sunken city of ancient Epidauros. It was spectacular. The water was very clear so you could see what is there very clearly. It was a memorable experience.

Nice village for a short stay and a basis for trips on the East Peloponese. The marine there is quite popular and plenty od yachts stayed three. Three are also plays in ancient little theather which is in the village , its worth to buy tickets for performance.
