Epidaurus reflects the grandeur of Greek culture with its stunning architecture and natural beauty. Nestled in the valley between the Arachnaio, Koryfaio, and Tithio mountains, the site enjoys a mild climate and picturesque surroundings. The sparkling waters and peaceful environment made it an ideal location for healing rituals. The Asklepieion was a major medical center in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, where patients sought divine healing.
