The Caves and chapels of Didyma are places of outstanding beauty and such a rare sight that I recommend them to anyone if anywhere in Argolida. They are not actually caves but sinkholes or dolines formed by collapse of the ground (definitely not a result of meteorite impact as some suggested). A steep staircase leads downwards into the small cave. Although steep, it is well lit and safe as it has handrails. Tall people would have to bend a little but nothing dramatic. Inside the small cave are two Byzantine chapels – bigger one, to the right of entrance, dedicated to St George and the smaller one, to the left of the entrance, Metamorphosis tou Sotiros, completely built into the wall of the doline. There isn't much information on the history of these chapels but some sources claim that the murals in the Chapel of St George are dating back to 13th century. In any case, both chapels are extraordinary places where you can sit quietly for a few moments, rest and enjoy the timelessness of the place. Quite different from the frenzy of the touristy places. There's a safe walk path around the inside of the small cave so you can see it from all sides. How to get there: They can be easily reached from the road from Epidaurus to Porto Cheli – take the turn to the village of Didyma and keep it to the west of the village, don't go into the village (unless you want to). After 3 to 5 km (depending on the direction you are coming from), there's a sign (brown one, colour of sings for archaeological/cultural sites) to Big Cave and Small Cave and Chapel of St George. Some 500 m of country road will take you to the fork in the road in the middle if which are somewhat hidden under the trees gates and stairway which leads downwards, to the small “cave” described above. The big doline (which can be seen from the road) is another 500 further up the road to northwest of the small one but it is far less interesting although very impressive from a distance. Probably already understood but entrance is free. There are more dolines on the other side of the hill but they are not easily accessible. Finally, Didyma means “twins” in Greek but it does not refer to these two dolines but to the two mountains to the either side of the village. This place is definitely worth a visit.
