- Epidaurus Archaeological Museum - EXPLORING THE MUSEUM. This beautiful addition to the site showcases numerous ancient tablets detailing miraculous treatments and healings, along with the earliest medical tools and a reconstruction of parts of the sanctuary’s main building from antiquity.
- Sanctuary of Asklepios - A rival to the temple of Zeus at Ancient Olympia and Delphi with its renowned Oracle, the Healing Center was one of the most significant centers in antiquity. The guide will highlight its revolutionary structures, including a 60-bed hospital and bathhouses, as well as the spiritual, holistic, and surgical methods used on patients. The site holds great importance in the history of medicine, and its emblem, a serpent entwined around a staff, symbolizes the spiritual and mythological treatments provided, as the guide will explain. This emblem is now seen worldwide on the doors of modern pharmacies and doctors’ waiting rooms.
- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - The Great Theater, which entertained patients who visited the healing center 2,500 years ago, is renowned for its structure and perfect acoustics. Modern festival-goers at the top tier can hear a softly spoken word from the center circle perfectly. Nestled in a beautiful pine forest, it offers a wonderfully peaceful experience. Visitors are encouraged to enter the main circle and may even recite or sing, joining others who do so during their visit.
- The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus - CONCLUDING THE TOUR. At the tour’s conclusion, visitors are welcome to stay on-site to explore further and take photos at their leisure.
