Ancient theater at Epidaurus (Epidavros)

The theater at Epidaurus is acoustically perfect.

For more than forty years, the Epidaurus Festival, part of the Hellenic Festival, has re-created ancient Greek classics at the beautiful and acoustically tremendous theater at Epidaurus. Don't miss this marvelous opportunity to experience theatre as the ancient Greeks did. Performances are in Greek but programs provide synopses in other languages.

Epidaurus Schedule 2008

Check the official website for schedule details as they become available, usually in late spring which can make it tricky for advance planning. Other performances may take place outside of the formal Hellenic Festival, so check locally during your trip.
