Ancient Epidavros is a beautiful farming and fishing village situated in the Peloponnese overlooking the Saronic Gulf. The village is fairly small (2000 inhabitants) but in the summer months the numbers increase. The village is surrounded by majestic tree clad mountains on the one side and the blue sea on the other. The views are spectacular! Ancient Epidavros has been widely known since pre-Hellenic times. The village has a beautiful natural harbour with the nearby small ancient theatre referred to as the “Shell of the Saronic Gulf” which hosts the July Music Festival annually.

Theatre
The larger and world famous theatre of Epidavros lies approx. 5 km away, seats 18000 and many plays are performed by the best Greek and foreign theatre groups in the summer months.

Nature
Ancient Epidavros with its natural beauty, mild climate, beaches, sea sports, walking and hiking facilities forms a perfect holiday resort but has not yet been discovered by the tourists at large. There is a small English community.

Shopping & food
The village has all that one needs in terms of daily shopping. There are sufficient tavernas, restaurants, etc. The views over the Saronic Gulf are spectacular and the islands of Angistri and Aegina can clearly be seen as well as Methana. Piraeus and Athens can be seen and on a good day it is possible to see the Acropolis.

Transport
Epidavros is easily accessible from Piraeus and Athens. The road system is good and there is thus never a problem with transport contrary to that on the Greek islands. Access to larger towns like Nafplio, Korinthos, Athens, Patras, and the Airport is very quick and easy. The road infrastructure is very good. There is a regular bus connection to Athens, Korinthos and to Nafplio. Train connections are good and cheap.

The people
The people are very helpful. The support group like electricians, plumbers, aircon people, garage, doctors, etc. is first class and not expensive. The health system is superb.

The number of foreigners purchasing property in Epidavros is steadily increasing.
