Beautiful footage, Tasos! Thanks for sharing this with us.

What an astonishing place Tasos.  Was it created from a natural formation - an extinct volcano caldera perhaps?

Thats amazingly big Tasos,   Nicely captured.    

Another job well done. Thank you.

Absolutely amazing footage of a spectacular theater.    I love the symmetrical shape.  Great job of filming this Tasos.

The ancient theater of Epidaurus is located at the southeastern end of the sanctuary which was dedicated to the healing god of antiquity, Asclepius, at the Asclepieion of Epidaurus. It is built on the western slope of Mount Kinorti. It is located near today's Ligourio of Argolida and belongs to the Municipality of Epidaurus. It is considered the most perfect ancient Greek theater in terms of acoustics and aesthetics.

The ancient theater of Epidaurus was built by the architect Polykleitos the Younger as reported by Pausanias. Pausanias praises the theater for its symmetry and beauty. With a maximum capacity of 13,000 - 14,000 spectators, the theater hosted the musical, vocal and dramatic games that were included in the cult of Asclepius. It was also used as a means of treating patients, as there was a belief that watching dramatic performances had beneficial effects on the mental and physical health of patients.

The first systematic excavation in the theater began in 1881 by the Archaeological Society, under the direction of archaeologist Panagi Kavvadias and was maintained in very good condition thanks to the restoration interventions of P. Kavvadias (1907), A. Orlandos (1954-1963) and Epidaurus Monuments Conservation Committee (1988 to 2016). With the work carried out, the theater has regained - except for the stage building - almost entirely its original form.

The monument is an attraction for a large number of Greeks and foreign visitors and is used to present performances of ancient drama.
