Epidaurus by Clyde

I visited this WHS in June 2014. Having visited quite a number of classical WHS in Greece I took advantage of the long summer opening times and visited Epidaurus after 5pm. This meant that not only all the tour groups and coaches had left, but at times I was practically the only visitor around. I headed first towards the stadium and then walked among the ruins and numbered remains scattered around the few standing columns remaining. Then I visited the archaeological museum which has several stone and marble statues on display and then I ended my visit with the main highlight, the huge Epidaurus Theatre that has a seating capacity of 14000! If you are lucky enough to visit when there are Greek theatrical arts or operas played here do visit! The acoustics are close to perfect.
