Overview

At the 4th Century BC UNESCO listed Ancient Sanctuary of Asclepius, you can not only visit the very roots of modern medicine, but you will also experience its Great Theatre, home to the yearly Epidaurus festival.

One of the most important centers in antiquity and named after the Greek God of Healing, Asclepius, your guide will point out all of its revolutionary structures such as its 60 bed hospital and bath houses, and explain the spiritual, holistic and also surgical methods used on its patients who were entertained at the nearby Great Theatre some 2500 years before.

At the Theatre, you can then join amateur performers, opera singers, poets and other cultural pilgrims who travel from far & wide to recite in the central circle and test its famous acoustics.

Fun, Informative, and educational, your tour is led by an experienced Accredited Expert and suitable for families and all ages.

Sanctuary of Asklepios (Pass by)
Rival of the temple of Zeus at Ancient Olympia and Delphi with its famous Oracle, the Healing Centre was at its time, one of the most important centers in antiquity. From the remains your guide will point out all of its revolutionary structures such as its 60 bed hospital and bath houses, to the spiritual, holistic and also surgical methods used on its patients. The site has enormous significance in the History of medicine and its emblem, the serpent entwined around a staff, was reflected in the spiritual and mythological treatment for its patients as your guide will explain and as can now be seen worldwide over the doors of modern pharmacies and doctors waiting rooms.
The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus (Pass by)
The Great Theatre entertained patients who travelled to the healing centre 2500 years ago and is famous for its structure but also for its perfect acoustics with the modern festival goers at the top tier not needing more than the soft spoken word in the centre circle to travel to them perfectly. Set in a beautiful pine forest it is also a wonderfully peaceful place to experience. Its allowed and even encouraged to enter the main circle and even better if you want to recite, sing as you are sure to see others doing during your visit.
