Overview

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive from Nafplio through olive groves and countryside landscapes to Epidaurus, one of the most celebrated archaeological sites in Greece. Your first stop is the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, a masterpiece of classical architecture renowned for its flawless acoustics and harmonious design. Standing in this iconic amphitheater, still used for performances today, you’ll feel the enduring power of ancient Greek drama and art.

Next, delve deeper into history at the Sanctuary of Asclepius, the god of healing, where ancient Greeks once came seeking cures for their ailments. Explore the remains of temples, ancient medical facilities, and the stadium, then visit the Archaeological Museum, which houses fascinating artifacts such as early surgical instruments, votive offerings, statues, and inscriptions that bring to life the story of ancient Greek medicine and spirituality.

After immersing yourself in the world of the ancients, the tour continues to the tranquil seaside village of Palaia Epidaurus. Here, you’ll enjoy leisure time to soak in the relaxed pace of Greek coastal life. Dine at a traditional taverna by the water, sampling fresh seafood and local delicacies, then take a stroll along the harbor, shop for handmade crafts, or simply unwind by the sparkling sea.

From the sacred spaces of myth and medicine to the calm charm of a Greek fishing village, Echoes of the Ancients invites you on a journey that blends history, culture, and natural beauty in unforgettable harmony.
