Theatre
The theatre of Ancient Greece, or ancient Greek drama, is a theatrical culture that flourished in ancient Greece between 550 bc and 220 bc. The city-state of Athens, which became a significant cultural, political, and military power during this period, was its centre, and was institutionalized as part of a festival named ‘the Dionysia’ which honoured the god Dionysos.. Tragedy (late 6th century BC), comedy (486 BC), and the satyr play were the three dramatic genres to emerge there. Athens exported the festival to its numerous colonies and allies in order to promote a common cultural identity.
One example is the acoustically-perfect Ancient Theatre At Epidavros is one of the numerous ‘must-visit’ on many traveller’s lists, but the long drive from Athens has made it difficult to fit into many schedules. Aboard a Pontos Imperial Yacht you can travel to mainland Greece by the Argo Saronic Gulf and enjoy the spectacular islands on your way before reaching your destination.
The Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus, within which the Epidaurus Ancient Theatre is situated, was one of the most extensive sacred sanctuaries in ancient Greece. It belonged to Epidaurus, a small city-state of the Classical period located on the nearby western coast of the Saronic Gulf, where the village of Palea Epidavros (Old Epidaurus) stands today. The buildings of the Sanctuary – temples, athletic facilities, the theatre, baths, and so on – were built in an elevated valley surrounded by mountains. The Sanctuary was linked to the ancient city of Epidaurus by an ancient road, large parts of which survive alongside the modern asphalt road leading to the site.
Ancient theatres are scattered all over magical Greece, Turkey and Italy. Pontos Imperial can arrange an unforgettable journey, exploring the wealth of these amazing civilizations all while travelling on board your ‘floating villa’.
