Renting a boat is the ideal way to explore the hidden beauty of Epidavros. This city belongs to the prefecture of Argolis and is about 39 km from Nafplio and 62 km south of the Corinth Canal. A private boat trip in this area of Greece will treat visitors to a rockier landscape, allowing them to take in panoramic views of a territory rich in history and natural beauty. Epidaurus may be overlooked as a sailing destination, but its geographical location and safe weather conditions have recommended it as a stopover itinerary to many owners of vessels on our platform. You can easily find the ideal catamaran, motor yacht, sailboat, or speedboat of your choice from the picturesque harbor of Epidavros, or any other marina in the East Peloponnese. You can directly contact the owners of the vessels for the ideal boat, or simply allow a BednBlue travel expert to guide you with some suggestions.
You have plenty of options:
You can book and hire a sailboat or speedboat with a skipper, or without one if you own a license, and enjoy a one-day cruise along the coastline. You also have the option to book a catamaran or motor yacht for a sunset cruise or overnight charter in Kalamaki Beach near Pallia Epidaurus. If you want to spend more time exploring the seaside destinations of the Peloponnese, we recommend renting a sailboat for a 3-day or 4-day cruise, making sure to include Epidavros in your itinerary.
Epidaurus or Epidavros is a seaside settlement situated in the eastern Peloponnese region of Greece. The Asclepion is recognized to be the most popular health center in ancient times. It is dedicated to the son of Apollo, Asclepius. During the 4th and 3rd century B.C., the center was visited by people who shared rooms known as the “Enkoimitria”. According to myth, those ill people were cured by Asclepius who would appear in their dreams and combat their disease. Epidaurus stands out today for its magnificent theatre. The theatre hosts plays and activities with sophisticated visual and acoustic symmetry. This means that every spectator can hear the play perfectly from every seat of the theatre. After you have taken a seat and experienced the incredible acoustics of the Epidaurus ancient theater, it is time for you to take a seat on your selected vessel from the BednBlue platform.
Epidavros houses several villages that you can stroll through in between your boat trip. At the foot of Mountain Akros lies Nea Epidaurus, and near the picturesque harbor, lies Pallia Epidaurus. The former village is more modern, whereas the former lets tourists come in contact with the past of the place. 2km from the port of Pallia Epidaurus you can visit Gialasi Beach and Gliati. Both are ideal for families with children seeking fun and relaxation. For a more exciting boat tour in Epidavros, you can swim in the secluded Kalamaki Beach. This is a sandy beach located on the bay of Pallia Epidaurus village and is ideal for relaxing in a tranquil environment. You may even visit the tree-shaded beach of Vagionia and spend an overnight there on a motor yacht. The beach shades the entire shoreline with beautiful pine trees.
Besides renting a boat in Epidavros and touring the ancient city, you can book a sailboat or catamaran. Thanks to its strategic position, you can explore more destinations in the Peloponnese. Corinth, Aegina, and Nafplio are wonderful examples. Whichever route you pick you will be able to explore the beautiful sea and nature of the Argolic region. You may even combine your boat tours in Epidavros with your island-hopping itinerary in the Saronic Gulf for a week or more.
Epidavros Harbor: Anchoring enthusiasts may spot space for their yacht further south down to the quay. The bay may experience some uncomfortable swells during the day.
