Private Taxi to Epidaurus

Epidaurus is home to one of the most perfect acoustic spaces ever built — a 4th-century BC theatre where a whisper on stage can be heard in the last row, 14,000 seats above. Combined with the sanctuary of Asklepios, the ancient healing centre, it is one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. A private taxi makes visiting Epidaurus effortless, whether you are coming from Athens, Nafplio, or anywhere in the Peloponnese.

Getting to Epidaurus

What to See and Do

The Ancient Theatre — Built in the 4th century BC, the theatre of Epidaurus seats 14,000 and is celebrated for its extraordinary acoustics. In summer, the Athens and Epidaurus Festival stages classical Greek drama and modern performances here under the stars.
Sanctuary of Asklepios — The ancient healing centre where patients came for cures combining medicine, ritual, and theatre. The museum displays surgical instruments, votive offerings, and architectural fragments.
Epidaurus Festival (Summer) — From June to August, Friday and Saturday performances at the ancient theatre are one of Greece's greatest cultural experiences. Watching Sophocles performed in the theatre where it was first staged is unforgettable.
Surrounding Nature — The sanctuary sits in a valley surrounded by pine-covered hills. Walking trails connect various parts of the archaeological site through fragrant woodland.

Why Book a Private Transfer to Epidaurus

Festival evenings. Performances start at 9 PM and end after 11 PM. Public transport back to Nafplio or Athens at that hour is nonexistent. A private driver waits and brings you home safely.
Combine with other sites. Epidaurus is ideally combined with Nafplio (30 min), Mycenae (45 min), or Ancient Corinth (1 hour). A private car makes multi-site days easy and efficient.
Flexible timing. Archaeological sites are best visited early or late. A private transfer lets you arrive when it suits you, not when the tour bus decides.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you take us to the Epidaurus Festival performance and wait?

Yes. We offer evening transfers to the Epidaurus Festival with a wait-and-return service. Your driver drops you at the theatre entrance, waits during the performance, and drives you back afterward. This is by far the most comfortable way to attend a show, especially from Nafplio or Athens.

How long should I allow for visiting Epidaurus?

For the archaeological site and museum, allow 1.5 to 2 hours. If you are attending a festival performance, arrive at least 30 minutes early to find your seat and settle in. The theatre is partially open-air, so bring a cushion for the stone seats.

Is Epidaurus open year-round?

The archaeological site and museum are open year-round (reduced hours in winter). The Festival performances run from June to August, typically on Friday and Saturday evenings. We recommend booking performance tickets well in advance, as popular shows sell out.
