A trip to beautiful seaside towns
The Cycling Tour to Epidavros from Nafplio starts in Tolo and goes via a number of charming fishing communities that perfectly capture the beauty of rural Greece. Drepano is the first stop. It's a quiet village with orange trees all around it, and it's known for being laid-back. After that, you'll pedal through Vivari, a beautiful community set around a tranquil lagoon that is home to migratory birds and environment enthusiasts.
As you go along the coastal route, you'll pass Candia and Iria. The road is narrower here, and the sea meets the foot of rolling hills. The mix of water and mountains makes a landscape that is quite beautiful and peaceful, like the kind of place you can only find off the beaten road. These settlements, with their modest tavernas and friendly people, are great places to stop for a quick break or to take some great pictures.
The beautiful mix of natural scenery is one of the best parts of the Cycling Tour to Epidavros from Nafplio. The azure waves of the Saronic Gulf are on one side, and the verdant slopes of the Peloponnesian hills and the wide, lush Argolic plain that goes on forever are on the other.
Cyclists will love this part of the Peloponnese. The paths are quiet and not very busy, and the gradual hills and valleys make for a fun challenge without being too hard. You'll see olive groves, vineyards, and citrus orchards along the way, all of which will make your journey more interesting.
After a pleasant trip through this beautiful area, you can see your destination: Ancient Epidaurus, one of Greece's most important archaeological monuments. When you get there, you can see the Ancient Theater of Epidaurus, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is famous for its great acoustics and well-preserved architecture.
This is a chance to stroll through history, to stand where Greek dramas once rang through the hills, and to see how smart the ancient Greeks were at building things. Your guide will tell you why Epidaurus was important as a healing center in ancient times, when it was home to the sanctuary of Asclepius, the god of medicine.
After you visit the old theater, you can have a well-deserved respite. You can rest your legs at the nearby village of Old Epidaurus, eat a classic Greek dinner by the sea, or just relax under the umbrella of a taverna with a cold drink.
Your trip ends with a pleasant ride back to Nafplion after a day of biking, touring, and learning about the culture.
