Description:

Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience of attending a Classical Greek tale at one of the most ancient theatres in the country—Epidaurus Theatre. With a lush landscape behind the skênê, remarkable acoustics, as well as excellent actors and singers, this event is sure to be memorable.

As you drive toward Epidaurus, pass by the evergreen Greek countryside and admire the splendid Corinth Canal. Finally arrive at the venue and admire its imposing limestone seats designed to filter out low-frequency sounds—such as the murmur of the crowd—and amplify high-frequency sounds from the stage.

Hear about the history of Epidaurus Theatre, built in the 4th century BC. The original structure included 34 rows and expanded by adding 21 rows in Roman times, allowing it to seat about 14,000 people. However, the structure maintained its Greek authenticity of keeping a lush landscape behind the skênê (the background of the stage).

In this open-air theatre, get comfortable and wait for the epic performance to begin. With excellent actors and singers, costumes, and instruments, this Classical Greek show—a drama or comedy—entertains you for the evening and brings you back in time to the era of kings, gods, and the heart of Greek mythology.
