The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is famous all over the world for its excellent acoustics and the wonderful architecture. In the ancient times, this theatre was actually used for religious ceremonies and rituals connected to the close sanctuary of Asklepius. In fact, the drama performances were part of such religious ceremonies in ancient Greece. Today drama performances that are part of the Greek Festival (Athens-Epidaurus Festival) take place there in July and August. Ancient Epidaurus is easily reached by bus tour from Athens.
