Epidaurus isn't just about epic tragedies and thunderous applause—it's a full-blown summer lifestyle. Picture this: velvet-robed crowds arriving nightly to soak in ancient drama, followed by cameras flashing under the open sky (no makeup lasts more than five minutes under that Greek sun) . After the final bow, the scene shifts to Taverna Leonidas in Lygourio, where actors and directors bond over garlic-infused gyuvetsi and myth-worthy gossip—a modern Olympus for thespians . But the night’s true grand finale happens at Capaki, the legendary disco born in 1981: a glamorous time capsule packed with choreographed chaos—from waltzes to Pavarotti-powered floor-shaking disco—fueling an epic after-party that’s almost as old as the festival itself.
