Day 3 - April 17, 2016 - Epidaurus
Visited the first medical center / hospital in the world in which ancient doctors believed that leisure activities such as music, theatre and reading would help a sick person heal. Greeks would travel from all over to stay here for as long as it took for them to feel better by eating well, exercising, having medical treatments and relaxing. The oldest outdoor theatre in the world is located here as well . The acoustics were so amazing that you could stand at the in the middle of the stage at the bottom and audience could hear you all the way at the top of the stadium.
How tall is the theatre
ReplyDeleteMaybe about the height of Harvard football stadium? It could seat 12,500 in the audience.
