Idyllic villa and location close to beach and ancient Epidavros
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Villa Rosa, it had something for all ages. We enjoyed walking to the local beach and bathing/playing in the crystal clear waters. The teenagers enjoyed snorkelling at the sunken city nearby and playing basketball/football near Epidavros harbour in the evenings. The highlight for me was a performance of The Trojan Women by Euripides at the big Epidavros theatre about 30 minutes drive away - a real treat, it even had projected subtitles! We did need the car to visit the harbour side sports and restaurants in the evenings and my elderly father needed a lift to & from beach - parking was fine. He would have been happy staying home as the views from the villa are gorgeous - on all levels, including downstairs. Chris was a great host always on hand and the villa was extremely well supplied including beach equipment and chairs - which were good for my parents. It is a beautiful, characterful, spacious villa and the local area is very special - we loved the harbour - I ran there and back in the mornings along the beach and an access road which was a safe route on foot, it could be walked too, via the little theatre (where they sometimes show films) but it would probably take about 45 minutes to get there. The beach is only a 5 min walk though, although a bit longer uphill on the way back. This is a great place for active families who like to get to explore! A trip to Nafplion and it’s beaches is definitely worth it! Probably Mycenae too…
