Epidaurus Amphitheatre

The Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus is regarded as the best preserved ancient theatre in Greece due to its perfect acoustics and incredible complete structure.

It was built around the late 4th century BC. Originally the theatre had 34 rows of seats divided into 34 blocks by stairs and walkways.

Because of its incredibly engineered acoustics, actors could be perfectly heard by all 15,000 spectators – you can even hear the sound of a pin dropping!
