Explore the oldest district in the city and soak up the atmosphere of this locals-only area before adding an optional visit to the Komboloi Museum, a curated collection of worry beads from across the world, or a visit to the Tsipuro, Ouzo, or Mastiha Distilleries, famous for their Ouzo worldwide.
You can also add a boat ride across the gulf, starting at the small island of the Castle of Bourtzi.
Choose which traditional taverna you want to enjoy lunch in, and refresh yourself with some delicious regional dishes before continuing on to Epidaurus.

Epidaurus was also a healing center of Asclepeion, widely considered the origin of Western medical science.
