Greek National Road 70 (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 70), abbreviated as the EO70, is a national road in the Peloponnese region of Greece. The EO70 runs between Argos to the west and Palaia Epidavros to the east, with a branch to the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus.

Route

The EO70 is officially defined as an east–west road within the Argolis regional unit. The main road runs between Argos to the west and Palaia Epidavros to the east: at Lygourio, there is a branch to Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus.[1] The EO70 connects with the EO7 in Argos, and with the EO10 to the east.

History

Ministerial Decision G25871 of 9 July 1963 created the EO70 from the old EO64, which existed by royal decree from 1955 until 1963, and followed the same route as the current EO70.[1][2] Ministerial Decision DMEO/e/oik/779/1995 of 24 July 1995 classified the EO70 as part of the secondary national road network.[3]
