We'll travel 18 miles east of Nafplion, to Epidaurus... known for its stunning ancient theatre. Epidaurus was dedicated to the God of Medicine, Asklepios. The world famous "Theatre of Epidaurus", built in the 4th century BC, is a marvel of harmony and acoustics and the best preserved ancient theatre in Greece. It is built out of limestone and seats a whopping 12,000 spectators! Attending the performances of Ancient drama operating during summer period is an unforgettable experience.
