We picked Rebecca up from the Airport and then back to camping Bekas. A lovely site right on the beach with a very friendly owner.
Over the next few days we did some sightseeing around the local area.
We took our canoe out into the bay and headed off to see the sunken city. The remains of the walls, which are quite extensive, are clearly visible in the beautifully clear waters of the bay.
The next day we went into town and down to the harbour.
And then onto the small peninsular to visit the Small Theatre of Epidaurus.
The following day the weather was not so sunny so we headed into the mountains to visit the Sanctuary of Epidaurus. This healing centre was built in the 6th century BC like the rest of the ruins we have seen. The Theatre here is huge and is renowned for its acoustics. Thankfully Rob did not try them out for once.
The site is known as the Sanctuary of Asklepios and covers a large area with many Temples and buildings and a Stadium for sports.
And also the Enkometrenon where the people were supposedly healed.
Our last day at Bekas saw Sarah and Becca off in the canoe again to Panagitsa, a small beach with a pretty chapel
And just for Becca a lovely Jellyfish.
