Ancient Theatre at the Asclepieion of Epidaurus

Ancient Theatre at the Asclepieion of Epidaurus, Ancient amphitheater in Epidaurus, Greece

The circular theater contains 55 rows of limestone seats arranged in two sections, accommodating up to 14,000 spectators against Mount Kynortion.

Construction of the theater occurred in two phases between the 4th and 2nd centuries BC within the sanctuary complex dedicated to Asclepius, god of healing.

The Athens and Epidaurus Festival presents ancient Greek dramas and musical performances in the theater each summer since its establishment in 1955.

The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours from 8 AM to 8 PM during summer months, with reduced hours in winter and entrance fees.

The theater exhibits exceptional acoustics where sounds from the orchestra level reach all seating tiers with perfect clarity without electronic amplification.
