Epidaurus is a cradle of ancient Greek drama and medicine. It is renowned for the abundance and high density of historical artifacts.

As you approach the stunning port of Epidaurus in Greece, you will be struck by the sheer beauty of this historic destination. Nestled in the heart of the Peloponnese peninsula, this port is surrounded by stunning natural landscapes and breathtaking views of the sea.

Once you disembark from your cruise ship, there are plenty of amazing sights and attractions to explore. The main highlight of Epidaurus is undoubtedly the ancient theatre, which is widely regarded as one of the most impressive examples of ancient Greek architecture. Built in the 4th century BC, the theatre has stood the test of time and is still used for performances to this day.

But that's not all. There are several other must-see attractions in the area, including the Sanctuary of Asklepios, which was once a renowned healing centre in the ancient world. Today, visitors can explore the ruins of this once-great complex and learn about its fascinating history.

For nature lovers, the region around Epidaurus offers plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploration. Take a walk in the nearby forests and discover the many hidden streams, waterfalls and natural pools that dot the landscape.

If you're interested in local culture, be sure to visit the small town of Lygourio, which is located just a short distance from the port. Here, you can discover traditional Greek architecture and enjoy local cuisine in the charming tavernas and cafes.

For those seeking a bit of relaxation and sunbathing, there are several gorgeous beaches within easy reach of Epidaurus. The most popular of these is probably the Blue Flag beach at Palaia Epidavros, which boasts crystal-clear waters and fine white sand.

The city was founded by Epidaurus. His parentage varies from one local version of the myth to another: the Argive version gives him as the son of Argus (himself son of Zeus), people of Elis believed him to be a son of Pelops; finally, the Epidaurians themselves considered him to be a son of Apollo.

Epidaurus is also the birthplace of Asclepius. Asclepios was a Divine Healer, he got his knowledge from his father, god Apollo, and centaur Chiron. It is also said that a snake taught him secret knowledge in return for some kindness. Asclepius had several children, including Hygeia, Panacea, Machaon and Podalirius, who became healers also. The king of gods Zeus killed Asclepius so he would not teach humans the art of resurrection.
