Epidavros

I couldn't go to Greece and not see the oldest theater there. It was not easy to find but it should've been. There are several small towns with the same name close by and the GPS took us to a different small theater that was not what we were looking for. We asked directions and found we didn't see the right sign...the road was supposed to take us right into the parking lot.
 This is the right spot!


It was a huge amphitheater and you could imagine performances happening there. The special Greek theater festival was taking place and there was a performance happening that night. After deliberating, we decided not to buy tickets. The show didn't start until 9, and it was only five; also two hours of a Greek tragedy, in Greek, was just a little too much to take in. If it had been a play that I knew and had a general idea about what was happening, then maybe we would've gone.

Outside the theater were more ruins of what was an ancient hospital. It's amazing...you can't go too far without seeing a brown sign that tells you what ancient ruin you are going by.
