Epidavros, Greece

Epidavros, dating back to 400 BC. The home of medicine and healing. We learnt from this visit that many ancient structures throughout Greece have been rebuilt from pillaged materials from even older structures.

This amphitheater is still used today. It was built to
last. It has amazing acoustics and we were fortunate
enough to be entertained by a random opera singer
who burst into voice in the middle of the theatre.

We haven't tired of the wonderful
Greek history and ruins.

An early stadium with marked tracks for
athletes and tiered seating.

Ruins of a temple, part of the Epidavros ruins.
 A lot of this is being rebuilt using moulds
of the original structures.

The asclepeion at Epidaurus was the most celebrated healing center of the Classical world, the place where ill people went in the hope of being cured. To find out the right cure for their ailments, they spent a night in the enkoimeteria, a big sleeping hall. In their dreams, the god himself would advise them what they had to do to regain their health. Found in the sanctuary, there was a guest house for 160 guestrooms. There are also mineral springs in the vicinity which may have been used in healing.  Wikipedia
