Drive for about 40 minutes and reach the junction for Epidaurus. Just before you will see signs to Poros or Spetses. At the intersection, turn right and immediately turn left, under the bridge.

Continue on this road, meeting on your right the supermarket "Vasilopoulos" . A little further down you will find signs at another intersection, in which you follow one of the following two routes, from both of which you can go to Metochi.
