In a small valley of Argolis prefecture in Peloponnese is located the village of Epidaurus, which consists a world heritage monument famous in ancient times for being the birthplace of Apollo's son Asclepius, the god of medicine, and, thus, a place of healing. Its principal monuments, particularly the temple of Asklepios, the Tholos and the Theater - considered one of the purest masterpieces of Greek architecture – date from the 4th century. The vast site, with its temples and hospital buildings devoted to its healing gods, provides valuable insight into the healing cults of Greek and Roman times. The Ancient Theater of Epidaurus is one of its most important sights, situated within the archaeological site of the Sanctuary of Asklepios. It is the place where tragedies and comedy plays of Sophocles performed to entertain and instruct the citizens. Guests can experience the splendid acoustics achieved by this architectural ancient marvel monument. Epidaurus is an all-year-round destination and can be beautifully combined with an Athens stay and visits to Corinth, Mycenae, Olympia and Nafplio.
