Tolo - Epidaurus - Olive Oil Factory - Mycenae - Nafplion - Tolo

The cult of god-healer Asklepius was formed here in VI-V century B.C. and Epidaurus became a pilgrimage place for many patients. Here have appeared remarkable buildings - the Temple of Artemis, the Temple of Asclepius, swimming pools with thermal waters, stadium. A theatre was also built here, where performances also helped with treatment. The theatre is famous for its unique acoustics and theatrical performances and concerts are still held here.

Only 3 km from the ancient Epidaurus is the MELAS olive oil factory. In MELAS you can walk through the organic olive grove and learn how trees grow, how olives are harvested and how olive oil is made. Taste the local olive oil and olives and buy what you like. It also sells very good olive oil-based bio-cosmetics and other natural ingredients. The visit lasts about an hour and is in Greek, English, French and German. I strongly recommend contacting Mrs Anastasia, who is conducting the tour, by email or phone in advance and agree on the time.
