Camping Verdelis

Epidaurus isn’t the only place with plenty of ancient archaeological sites. The Archaeological site of Mycenae (50 minutes’ drive) was once a grand citadel. Nowadays, the crumbling leftovers include the remains of an acropolis, houses, public building and storehouses. Next up might be Nafplion (40 minutes), a scenic coastal city with an old town, coral reefs suitable for scuba diving, and activities such as sea canoeing. Or perhaps you’ll want to cross the water to an island like Poros (an hour and 40 minutes, including a ferry), a pretty place with plenty of white-sand beaches, watersports and a historical monastery. Hydra (50 minutes’ drive to Ermioni, then a 25-minute ferry) has museums, monasteries and a gorgeous set of beaches and Spetses (55 minutes’ drive and a 10-minute ferry) is yet another island escape within reach. That’s not all… perhaps a visit to ancient Corinth (50 minutes), Methana Volcano (an hour) or seaside resorts like Porto Cheli (50 minutes) or Ermioni (50 minutes) too?
