Getting There -- By Car -- If you're coming from Athens or Corinth, turn left for Epidaurus immediately after the Corinth Canal and then follow the coast road to Ancient Epidaurus, not to Nea Epidaurus or Palea Epidaurus. From Nafplion, follow the signs for Epidaurus. If you drive to Epidaurus from Nafplion for a performance, be alert: The road will be clogged with tour buses and other travelers who are driving the road for the first time.
By Bus -- Two buses a day run from the Stathmos Leoforia Peloponnisou (bus station for the Peloponnese), 100 Kifissou, Athens (tel. 210/512-4910; www.ktel.org), to Epidaurus. The trip takes about 3 hours. There are three buses a day from the Nafplion bus station, off Plateia Kapodistrias (tel. 27520/27-323), to Epidaurus, as well as extra buses when there are performances at the Theater of Epidaurus. This bus takes about an hour. For general information on Athens-Peloponnese schedules and fares, call tel. 210/512-4910; or check www.ktel.org.
Fast Facts -- The ancient site has both a mobile post office and a pay phone.
