Subjects : The site is famous for its theatre, built around 340-330 BC, dedicated, like the whole site, to the Greek god of medicine, Asclepio.Il theatre was part of the larger sanctuary of Asclepius, an important healing and pilgrimage centre. Patients came to Epidaurus to seek treatment, and once they were cured, they are said to have been entertained with theatrical performances. It is famous for its beauty, its remarkable acoustics and its size: it could accommodate 15,000 spectators.

Recommended equipment : Travel equipment: wide-angle lenses or little more and lightness. The place is, like many sites in mainland Greece, enchanting: perhaps a travel telephoto can give some interesting landscape shots.

Best months : Spring is the most suitable, both for the temperatures (attention: bring waterproof equipment: it is easy for it to rain), and for the greenery and flowering of the vegetation.

How to get there : Plane to Athens, then car (rented, for example) in a couple of hours or, with changes, by public bus in about four hours. However, there are organized trips from Athens with transport by tourist buses.

Visits : Admission is subject to a fee, with costs from €6 to €20
