You can catch a bus heading towards Kosmas. Make sure to check the bus schedule as they may not run frequently. Once you arrive in Kosmas, the Monastery Elonas is located a short walk from where the bus drops you off. Look for signs directing you to the monastery or ask a local for guidance.
Bus
At the Nafplio bus station, purchase a ticket for Kosmas. The bus journey will take approximately 30-40 minutes. When you arrive in Kosmas, disembark at the main stop. You may need to ask locals for the direction to Monastery Elonas, which is nearby. It’s advisable to have the monastery's name written down in Greek (Μοναστήρι Ελόνας) to show to locals if needed.
