The World Heritage Site at Epidaurus is the main attraction to this part of the world. The huge amphitheatre was built over 2,500 years age, yet still hosts plays and concerts today due to the simply incredible acoustics and stunning scenery.. The annual Hellenic Festival of Epidaurus attracts visitors by the plane load, as this is also one of Greece’s most important cultural events. Greek mythology places Epidaurus as the home and birthplace of the Greek god of healing, and as a result, became an ancient centre of health and healing. The ruins of ancient Epidaurus are not confined to the remarkable amphitheatre either. The Temple of Asclepius, bath houses and ancient sports stadium are hugely impressive, and well worth an exploration from any self catering Epidaurus property rental.

The rugged, wild Methana Peninsula is a wonderful place to walk and cycle, with stunning views out over the sea towards the islands of Egina and Agistri. The beaches along the peninsula are wild and untouched, perfect for a secluded afternoon in the sun or a spot of beach fishing.
