Epidaurus, Ancient healing complex in Peloponnese, Greece.
The limestone theater of Epidaurus contains 55 rows of seating divided into two sections, accommodating 14,000 spectators with clear views of performances.
During the 4th century BCE, architects constructed this theater within a healing sanctuary dedicated to Asclepius, where Greeks sought medical treatments.
The summer Athens Epidaurus Festival presents classical Greek plays in the ancient theater, connecting modern audiences with historical performance traditions.
Visitors can reach Epidaurus by taking a two-hour bus ride from Athens Terminal Station, with regular departures throughout the morning hours.
The theater's acoustics allow spectators in the highest row to hear a coin drop or match strike on the central stage without electronic amplification.
