Archaeological museum of Epidaurus

The main sleeping place for ancient visitors to the site.

This stunningly well preserved theater held (and still holds) up to 14,000 spectators. It is particularly admired for its exceptional acoustics - tour guides have their groups scattered in the stands and show them how they can easily hear the sound of a match struck at center-stage. It was first constructed in the 4th century BCE, and seating was extended in the 2nd century BCE. It is still used today for theatrical performances, particularly as part of the Athens-Epidaurus Festival in the summer.
