In this beautiful bay in the westem side of the Peloponnese, the Ancient Greeks formed a small kingdom - that of Epidavros. The splendor of Epidavros, the greenery of the pine trees, the blueness of the sea and the serenity of the region were those factors that made the god Asklipios create the Temple of Asklipion and its renowned theatre.The Greeks of today respected this sacred spirit and tradition and went on to develop this heritage, thus making Epidavros the centre of Greek culture.
Every summer ancient drama plays are enacted at the
Theatre at Epidavros while musical events are presented
in the small Theatre.However, since holidays in Greece are
not only culture but also the sea, the sun, entertainment and
sports, Epidavros has become one of the largest tourist
resorts in Greece.Epidavros means the centre of Greek
culture. Epidavros means entertainment. Epidavros means
unforgettable summer holidays. |
