Getting there, and getting back
Nafplio to Epidaurus
About 25 km from Nafplio through the Argolid. KTEL buses run, but sparsely.
- KTEL services on these routes run a few times a day and not on a cruise timetable. A taxi with an agreed return time is the dependable option for a port day.
Most ships also sell a coach excursion to
Epidaurus. However you travel, being back aboard before all-aboard
is your own arrangement to make — we publish the journey, not your
sailing. Your guide plays either way, and it is yours to keep.
-
40–60 min
KTEL bus from Nafplio, or a taxi with an agreed return. Buses take roughly 45 minutes and run only a few times a day.
0.7–1.0 hours each way
Plan your return against your ship's all-aboard time, which is on your
daily programme. It is earlier than the departure time, and if you are
coming back by tender the last tender leaves earlier still.

Journey times are typical, not guaranteed, and nothing here is a schedule.
Your ship's all-aboard time is the only one that counts, it is not the same
as the departure time, and it is not something we can look up for you — it
varies by line and by port and it is printed on your daily programme.
If a connection slips, turn around.
