Excellent tutorial Andrew, we've been going to that region regularly for the past few years and didn't realize how incredibly long history. Thanks again for the history lesson.
I know it is a shame because the town and the theatre are interlinke, and the theatre was just about the last thing built too. It was a centre for healing. Glad you enjoyed
Another great video, I love your passion for all these historical sites in Greece, it's amazing how many there! I'm looking forward to exploring a few when we visit this summer
Thank you. Sometimes I go somewhere and just really get excited about what was going on in the past. I am trying to cover most places in the Peloponnese eventually.
Another greek gem, hidden in plain view. How many lifetimes would it take I wonder to see them all? I'd visited the archeological site of Epidaurus and had no clue this wonderful nearby site existed. Thanks again for revealing these places to us, Andrew!
I am glad you enjoyed, so much history in that region is interlinked but not perceived that way. Next vid is an active volcano near Athens and a Mycenaean acropolis on it…
Great video as usual! When did you film this? We are visiting many of the Peloponnesus sites in a couple of weeks (mid-April) and wondering how many visitors will be around there. Cheers.
2 weeks ago, it will be quiet, not much different to the video I suspect, maybe slightly busier at the weekend. I hope you enjoy and thanks for the positive feedback!
How easy is it to transfer from Athens airport to this interesting site? Just left Athens. Hope to be back next low season to learn more. Was blown away by the thousands of years of history. Very humbling to think everything we do or ‘invent’ has already been done by others, long before their civilisations ended. (Why?) We are just merely specks of dust, passing through time.
its a greek amphitheater not a roman, which is abit different. roman era begins 300 years later around 100 bc. i hear very often complains about the greek and roman temples beeing transformed into churches but when the greek became roman and the greek roman spread christianity in the greek world as the first christians, it was natural that they would turn the pagan temples into churches soon after christianity became statereligion. they did not destroy them though but tranformed them , like the parthenon at the acropolis in athens. often times they just put crosses on the temples but sometimes temples got destroyed through natural disasters or wars and then often times churches was build on top of the ruins, so this pagan temples would not have survived anyway. greek entirely identify themselves with greek orthodoxy which is part of their roman heritage an is the longest era of the greek ppl and spans more than 1500 years, from ca. 100bc till the official end in 1453ad. roman era is the most important part of todays greek identity, even more then the classic and bronze age eras. greek refer even today to themselves as roman (romios) and the turks call the greek and the greek language in turkey till today rum = roman.
Another fantastic video by Andrew. Thank you.
Thank you for the positive feedback, always appreciated
I love Epidavros it’s always in my heart even if I don’t live there .my hometown ❤

When I was walking round I had you in mind For any!
Another Great Video from someone who really enjoys what he films
Thank you!
Very interesting. Thanks
I have been to the Greek theater at Epidaurus but didn't realize the town was on the coast!

GREEK THEATRE
You are right, 4th century bc was Greek
@GreeceExplored but you are wrong
Palaia is old not archaic.
I appreciate your video.. however in order to retain the beauty of life there, why are you encouraging tourism?
Because a lot of people in the area rely on tourism, and it is a fantastic place to explore, though personally I am more interested in the history.
its a greek amphitheater not a roman, which is abit different.
roman era begins 300 years later around 100 bc.
i hear very often complains about the greek and roman temples beeing transformed into churches but when the greek became roman and the greek roman spread christianity in the greek world as the first christians, it was natural that they would turn the pagan temples into churches soon after christianity became statereligion.
they did not destroy them though but tranformed them , like the parthenon at the acropolis in athens.
often times they just put crosses on the temples but sometimes temples got destroyed through natural disasters or wars and then often times churches was build on top of the ruins, so this pagan temples would not have survived anyway.
greek entirely identify themselves with greek orthodoxy which is part of their roman heritage an is the longest era of the greek ppl and spans more than 1500 years, from ca. 100bc till the official end in 1453ad.
roman era is the most important part of todays greek identity, even more then the classic and bronze age eras.
greek refer even today to themselves as roman (romios) and the turks call the greek and the greek language in turkey till today rum = roman.
