The Great Theatre of Epidaurus

An ancient Greek theater built in the third century.

Reviewed By Jellybellydancer - Burscough, United Kingdom

The Peloponnese is not short of magnificent ancient sites and the Theatre of Epidavros is up there with the best of them. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is one of the best preserved ancient structures in existence and is a 'must-do' if you are in this part of the world. The scale of the amphitheatre, which seat up to 14,000 people, is awe-inspiring and it's perfectly true that you can hear a coin drop on the stage from the highest seat. We were treated to an impromptu performance by another visitor, obviously keen to test out this claim about the acoustics, and the applause from the back of the theatre resonated as clearly as that from the front. It is definitely worth climbing up to the top if you can, the steps are a little uneven in places but perfectly manageable. The views from the top are amazing.

Reviewed By chr1stinad - Athens, Greece

As we had already tasted Domain Skouras wines, we had the curiosity to explore its roots. We booked online a wine tour that definitely exceeded any expectation nor can be compared with any previous wine tasting experience. Winery facilities are impressive, with major highlights the bottling line with a capacity of 3000 bottles per hour and the amazing one-thousand-barrel cellar! All wines are of top quality, proved by multiple awards and international recognition. Great hospitality by our tour guide, she offered us a lot of interesting facts and useful information for the place and the wines. We couldn’t leave without buying some bottles for our home. We loved it and will visit it again! Highly recommended!

Ermionis - Bairaktaris Apiary

Our long tradition and involvement with apiculture led our new firm Ermionis to the construction of a building where we would keep and exhibit all the old apiculture tools. The building, which is now the Honey and Bee Museum of the region, matches the architecture of the old houses in Kranidi, made of stone and reed on its roof, and it is in full accordance with the natural context of the land. The owner, Kosmas Bairaktaris, has preserved all the objects himself, has designed and created the glass beehives, all of which can give the visitor the chance to observe how the bees work. The museum is open daily 10 am to 2 pm. In our farm there is and olive oil museum, too!

Panta Rei

Ancient Greek massage

Reviewed By xena_10

It was my first time to experience ancient Greek massage and I believe I was in good hands. It begins in a gentle way and the masseuse takes you through a journey of sensations using various tools and ingredients such as oil, power, suction, and horsehair brush. I recommend the massage session for people who appreciate tactile sensation.

It is impossible really fully to appreciate the story of Kleobis and Biton at Herodotos 1.31 unless one has visited the Argive Heraion. Top site.
