Can you hear me now?
This is a top pick! ... that we left. We wanted more time in Greece so we added an extension. We had no idea that the extension was going to give us the opportunity to celebrate Carnival in Greece. What a cool way to end the day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK6d9XQGuXk ...
Juliet at Epidaurus
This is a top pick! Next on Papou's agenda was Epidaurus. The first time I came here, I didn't have the lung power to sing Amazing Grace with the students on stage or climb to the top of the marble theatre to hear the astounding natural acoustics. This time, I did both. ...
Epidaurus: Built for Butts, Not for Churches
This is a top pick! We left Corinth and drove on to the Theatre of Epidauros (or Epidaurus, or Epidavros, it's all just alternate spellings of the same ancient site built between 330 and 280 BCE). This theatre is legendary for its amazing acoustics. Without the benefit of ...
Modern Epidaurus
This is a top pick! ... saw Epidaurus Island (which is actually a peninsula). We took some pictures that do no justice to the true vista. What a phenomenal day in the Peloponnese with Godiva and Papou. There are just no superlatives strong enough for the experience of ...
Note

Be Careful What You Say
Cycled into the ancient theater of Epidavros - heralded to be the best preserved of the ancient world, and I believe it could be true. Immense in size it can seat 14 000 people, and it’s still used today. Built into the surrounding ...
new stuff
... (that is how the Greek guards tell you are doing something they don't like) at a few times. Today is Sunday. Sundays here in Greece are much different than Sundays for us in the States, cause we don't have church till 6. All day we are free to come ...
Day Trip

Off The Greek Islands
Since I am fascinated by old stuff and how others used to live, one of my goals for this trip was to view the Peloponnese. The Peloponesse possesses many important archaeological sites dating from the Bronze Age through to the Middle Ages. Some of the ...
Moving On
... set off on a beautiful hot sunny and windless day to head north. Stopping for a swim, avoiding ferries and arriving at Epidavros late afternoon. This is where there is an ancient Greek theatre that is one of the best preserved in all of ...
Theatres, stadiums, and cyclopes oh my!
Yesterday, we went kayaking again. Waves were bigger, and it was quite fun breaking through all the waves. We took them over to this island called thhe boobies, and we attempted to climb one of the peaks, but in sandals it was too hard to traverse the ...
Hot hot hot!
... lovely mountain views, a nice stream, a massive canyon and stroll around the ski village at the top. Yes that’s right, Greece has mountains with snow! Wierd... We stayed at the marina at Diakofto, and then carried on toward Olympia the next day. ...
Epidavros
... uzatmadim. Yol boyu yazlik evler vardi. Biraz bizim Altinoluk-Akcay yollarini animsatti bize. Biraz daha devam edip Epidavros`a geldik. Epidavros deniz kenarinda kucuk bir turistik kasaba. Kiyida restaurantlar, kucuk liman, oteller,vs. cok ozel bir yer ...

Greece
Today on our way to the island of Spetes, we stopped at Epidavros which was once the most famour healing center in ancient Greece. It was like an ancient Lourdes. The site began as a sanctuary to Appolo but soon his son Asklepios had taken over. This ...
Accoustically Inclined
We took a day trip to the theatre in Epidavros as well as the Asclepion. The theatre was amazęng, the accoustics were truly amazing. Athena and I were at the very top of the theatre when we heard some singers practicing, węthout ...
"Albert and the Lion"
Albert and the Lion at Epidavros After discoverytime we went for a walk along the harbour. We thought we could walk all the way around the castle but unfortunately the path was closed, big signs and even fencing blocked the pathway, even with all ...

Theater Singing
Epidaurus at one time held the sanctuary of Asklepios. Asklepios was the great Greek healer of myth and many would come here to be healed. He was the most humanitarian of all the gods and would accept anyone and everyone that came to him. ...
Epidavros
Our decision to take a car back to Athens rather than the fast cat means we have the opportunity of a stop at Epidavros. According to Pausanias, the ancient theatre of Epidaurus was built by the architect Polycleitus the Younger in the 4th century ...
Last Stop Before the Canal
... best shelter before the Corinth Canal and we had decided to transit the canal on Monday as it closes every Tuesday for maintenance. Leaving Epidavros we had a 12kt breeze so we threw all the sails up.......and as soon as we did, the wind died. It's ...
Quick Stop
We arrived late, and after a meal and a few drinks it was an early night all round. This place was quiet 2 months ago, it was even quieter now. No anchored boats, restaurants all boarded up and it was a Saturday night. Skies clouded up again but no ...
Epidavros or Bust
... it was down to the car hire office to do a deal on a purple Hyundai Getz for the adventure of the week; after three years, Epidavros or bust! The ancient theatre of Epidavros is about 50km from Porto Heli, but takes nearly an hour and a half due to the ...
Famed theater 2500 years old and still in use
... After Epidaurus we make a quick stop to see the charming seaside town of Napflio. The town was the first capital of modern Greece, from 1829 to 1834. There is a large castle on the hill looking over the town as well as a small fortress guarding the ...
Healing Center of Epidavros
This morning we drove to the Healing center of Epidavros. This was like a health spa which reached the height of its popularity in the 4th and 3rd c BC. The site began as a sanctuary to Apollo, but he was superseded by his son Asklepios. Asklepios is ...
