One of the ancient world's famed places of healing, Epidavros today remains best known as the site of a remarkably well-preserved Hellenic theater, designated as a World Heritage Site. Long ago, hopeful visitors from as far away as Rome came to Epidavros to seek miraculous cures for their ailments. Today's travelers flock here to explore the renowned archaeological site and experience live performances of ancient tragedies and comedies. Erected in the fourth century BCE, the theater retains its outstanding acoustics, greatly aided by fifty limestone rows that amplify high-frequency sounds from the stage. Near the theater you can also visit the remains of an ancient stadium, once the site of regular athletic competitions.
