The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus | Omilo

Epidaurus and its Ancient Theatre.
Epidaurus was the main sanctuary of Asklepios in Greece
The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is located within the archaeological site of the Sanctuary of Asklepios.
It is a half-hour drive from Nafplion and approximately two hours from Athens. The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is again in use, and the most popular tourist attraction in the area.
The impressive amphitheater was built in the 4th century BC, lying, as do most Greek theatres, against a slope.This theatre is by far the best-preserved theatre in Greece and has magnificent acoustics. The first row was reserved for dignitaries; their seats have backs, making them into regular chairs. The complex had two entrances; the western has been restored to give an impression of the original theatre. The skènè (stage) in its oldest phase had been a simple tent, but was later made of wood.
Nowadays, during performances, a new stage building is erected on the site.
