Within 50km and ten-minute island hops we have three well-known islands to visit; Hydra, Spetses and Poros. All have amazing history, great walks, restaurants and hidden swimming spots.

All our day trips can be taken alongside the cyclists. Please see the cycling rides page for full details of each island trip.

From dawn to dusk, Epidavros is a mecca for foodies; fresh local produce, from the land and sea, accompanied by kilograms (!) of wine from the local vineyards. We have a dozen favourite restaurants that we hope you get to enjoy. From the hidden away beachside Mouria, where Maria Callas went after performances, to Εστιατόριο Το Καλογερικόν which specialises in Peloponnese dishes, and where the stars often go after attending the annual festival in the amphitheatre.

Relax at a bar on one of our seven local beaches and hidden coves or chill with a book, around the pool, on the balcony or at Stork, one of the local coffee shops with an amazing view across the whole of the bay.

While you are with us you can also visit the Epidavros Amphitheatre and sanctuary, the Corinth Canal, historical remains at Nimea, the beautiful former capital of all Greece, Nafplio, the volcanic island of Methane and the local vineyards for some wine tasting. All these trips can be taken alongside the cyclists. Please see the cycle rides page for full trip details.

Epidavros really is the cultural capital of Greece, with two original 3,000-year old amphitheatres that both still host epic music and theatre events. Also, being only ninety minutes drive from Athens, you can time your visit to tie-in with a festival such as ‘Release Athens’, which in 2022 features acts such as the Pet Shop Boys, Massive Attack and Nick Cave. And don’t forget to consider coming during Greek Easter, the biggest celebration in the orthodox world – an occasion to experience. See full list of 2022 cultural events that you could attend.

We don’t want to see too much day-to-day work going on because Epidavros is perfect for real, blue-sky inspiration, reflection and creative thinking. With numerous coffee shops, balconies and hidden corners that serve both the latest coffees and fast wi:fi, Epidavros could be the place where you come up with that life-changing idea - for your work or even yourself.

In Epidavros port are two dive companies that can take you snorkeling around The Sunken City. Our blue sea, distinct lack of currents and tides and generally calm conditions around the bays in the Saronic sea, make this a great destination for divers, SUP’ers, swimmers and water sports fans of all levels.

From the top of the mountain behind us, local company, Flying Paradise can take you paragliding over the whole of Epidavros.

There are some amazing local routes for following on foot; shorter ones for a walk, longer for a run or even longer for a hike.

The Greek Government are currently opening many cultural walking routes around Epidavros, that lead to monasteries, historical remains or hidden beaches.

Epidavros doesn’t close at 11pm, in fact with a 24-hour beach bar by the sea below us, it never closes.

All-night conversation, eating, drinking and dancing are very much welcomed!

We have two Stand Up Paddleboards available for guests to enjoy. We have an amazing route from the villa; down to the sea, SUP over the sunken city, stop off at the five-star beachfront hotel for coffee, SUP past the 3,500-year-old amphitheatre and into town to enjoy lunch or dinner :)

Our local kayak company can guide you on tours around our beautiful coastline, to visit secret bays and hidden coves.

Ten minutes walk along the beach from us is the little theatre, built in the 4th century BC, it was dedicated to the god Dionysu. Every Summer, it hosts “Musical July”, with significant musical and theatrical events.

Only ten minutes walk, fifty metres swim and two metres under your legs is the sunken city. You can easily swim to it, and explore with goggles. The ruins are of the ancient Agora of Ancient Epidaurus. The Agora was located opposite the ancient port which was located under the Acropolis of Epidaurus. Walls, support structures and parts of floor slates are all visible.

Fifteen minutes walk along the shoreline brings you to a hidden beach, watched over by a small church and the home of the world-famous pianist/conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy. Perched above the bay and surrounded by cypress and pine trees, it enjoys unrivaled views across the islands and blue sea.
