Epidaurus was a significant city in ancient Greece. It was famous as a healing center and was believed to be a sanctuary for Apollo, Hygeia, and Asclepius, who were revered as gods of healing in Greek mythology. Today the site offers visitors the chance to explore a wide range of archeological remains and have a look at life in ancient Greece. The area once had hundreds of spas and a number of the remaining structures can be visited today, including a large one in the asclepeion, which was the main sanctuary area. Another of the most significant sites at Epidaurus is a well-preserved theater that was built in the 4th century and could hold around 15,000 spectators. Map
