Epidaurus is one of Greece's most important archaeological sites, located within the country's Argolis region on the northeastern end of Peloponnese. The region is famed for its Ancient Theatre, which was constructed as a religious ceremonial site in the late fourth century B.C. in honor of the Greek god Asclepius. It is famed throughout the world for its unique symmetrical archaeological design and incredible acoustics, hosting performances throughout the year today of ancient Greek dramas. Lush greenery surrounds the classical theater, which offers stunning views of the nearby valley.
