Athens - Day 5: Mycenae (including The Treasury of Atreus/Tomb of Agamemnon), Nafplio and Epidaurus

This was a guided tour, so I didn't have as much time at each site as I would have liked. Notably, I didn't have enough time to visit the Archaeological Museum of Mycenae. But hey, maybe next time! (Also, I thought the steps of the theatre of Epidaurus was going to be the death of me but it was 100% worth it for that view)

Maggie Rogers, An audience leaves the ancient amphitheater at Epidaurus, Greece, after hearing Mahler’s 4th symphony performed. Audiences have gathered here for performances for more than 2,300 years, a witness to our enduring capacity to create beauty and transcendence alongside our seemingly endless capacity for harm and destruction.

The Temple of Asklepios in Epidaurus, Greece

The ancient columns stand tall. They carried more than just weigh. They symbolized strength and support. The whole Epidaurus site evokes a feeling of tranquility and serenity.

The Asklepieion of Epidaurus, Greece

Epidaurus was a sacred healing place devoted to Asklepius, the god of medicine. An Asklepieion was the temple of Asklepius, where people would go with the hope to be cured. There were many such sanctuaries in Greece, but Epidaurus was especially famous and visited by people from all over Greece because this was a place where Asklepius was born, according to the myth. To find out the right treatment for them, people spent the night in a sleeping room and the god himself would come to their dreams and tell them what to do in order to be cured.
