Be part of the story of the ancient sunken city of Epidaurus. Few people know that in Greece there is a sunken city near Athens. With this trip, you will experience a unique feeling while swimming among the ancient ruins. Your group will take photos, observe the unique colorful fish and experience the aura and unique healing energy of Epidaurus as it was the place where the aura works.
This sunken state is located at a minimum distance from the coast and at a depth of only 2 meters. From the foundations of buildings to Mycenaean tombs of the 12th century and amphorae have been found there. You can even see from above the cobblestones on which the inhabitants of the area walked centuries ago. Looking low in the clear blue waters you go back in time.
Archaeologists and research reports point to the possible existence of a trading post in the area where the sunken state and the old Epidaurus are today.
This Tour is unique and includes all highlights of the Corinth canal, museum of Epidaurus, Ancient theater, and archeological site!
In the peaceful hinterland of Epidaurus, with its mild climate and abundant mineral springs, is the sanctuary of the god-physician Asklepios, the most famous healing center of the Greek and Roman world. The sanctuary belonged to the small coastal town of Epidaurus, but its fame and recognition quickly spread beyond the limits of the Argolid. It is considered the birthplace of medicine and is thought to have had more than two hundred dependent spas in the eastern Mediterranean. Its monuments, true masterpieces of ancient Greek art, are a precious testimony to the practice of medicine in antiquity. Indeed they illustrate the development of medicine from the time when healing depended solely on the god until the systematic description of cases and the gradual accumulation of knowledge and experience turned it into a science. The area was devoted to the cult of healing deities since Prehistory.
The ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is situated near the ancient sanctuary of Asklepios, a celebrated healing center of the classical world. It was used as a therapeutic and religious center dedicated to Asklepios, the god of healing. Built in 340 BC, is one of the best-preserved theatres in Greece. The main materials used for its construction were limestone and porous stone. It was built in two phases – one during the 4th century BC seating about 8,000 people and the second in the mid-2nd century when capacity increased to 14,000 spectators– and divided into two parts: one for citizens and one for priests and authorities. Is also famous for its perfect acoustics and is being used nowadays for theatrical tragedy plays (Tragedy is a form of drama based on human suffering, that invokes an accompanying catharsis or pleasure in audiences).
