My trip to the Peloponnese (5)- Epidaurus

After visiting the museum at Ligourio we continued to Epidaurus. It was midday.
Epidaurus is famous for its ancient theatre which is still in use today.

 I had to take my felted stone there too.

 And hubby took a couple of photos with his shadow puppet and we were scolded by the guard of the sight.Oooops!

 The acoustics of the theatre are maginificent.

 There is a very small museum there.

 Isn't that marble sculpture amazing in its detail?

 Everything outside was green and lush...

 ...and bathed in the sunshine....

 This was a healing centre, Asclepieion as it is called, dedicated to Asclepeios God,the healer, son of Apollo.

 There is also a stadium.

 Renovations and construction work is being done to save the antiquities.

 On the way back to Nafplio we spotted this prehistoric bridge.

Of course I had to walk on it!
