The theatre of Epidaurus represents the finest and best-preserved example of a classical Greek theatre. It was built in 330-20 BC and enlarged in the mid-2nd century AD. The overall 14 000 seats rest on a natural slope and face the stage area set against a backdrop of lush landscape. The theatre is marvelled for its exceptional acoustics. Any sound on the open-air stage, whether a spoken voice is perfectly audible to all spectators, even in the topmost row of seats, that is, nearly 60 m away.

Photography Tips

Even 14 mm lens with full frame camera is not enough to capture the entire theatre to single shot. This shot is stiched panomarama with 5x14 mm vertical shots. NO TRIPODS ALLOWED INSIDE THE AREA so everything must be shot handheld. If you want to take the shot with very little people in it, there's a couple of things to keep in mind. This is one of the most popular tourist destination in this area. Daily busses from Athens arrive steadily throughout the day. So... either come very early or be the last one to leave. If you want to arrive early you should book a hotel from the nearby village or Archaia Epidavrus (8 km away).
