The ancient Sanctuary of Asklepios in Epidaurus is a unique and captivating site that has fascinated visitors of all ages since the 6th century BC.

Located in a small valley in the Peloponnese, it was an important center for the healing cults of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds. The principal monuments of the site, including the temple of Asklepios, the Tholos and the Theatre, can still be marveled at today.

A perfect example of Greek architecture, the theatre, with its 34 rows of seats over 60 aerial meters, is still used today for cultural events such as concerts and performances. From temples and hospital buildings to statues and grand views, the Sanctuary of Asklepios offers visitors a special connection to the ancient world.
