Epidauros

What is now a pleasant little agricultural village surrounded by orange and olive groves has been on the Greek map for millennia, and the ruins of its heyday are some of the most impressive in Greece. Epidaurus was known for its healing center and spectacular theater, which made it the envy even of Rome. Today the beautifully preserved theater, standing proud in a pine-scented glade, is a magnificent sight, and one of the most popular on the peninsula thanks to its yearly theater festival.
