How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The healing sanctuary of the god Asklepios near Epidauros, a garden of temples and hospital buildings in the game.

The real place

The Asklepieion at Epidaurus was the most famous healing centre of the ancient world. Its theatre, built in the 4th century BCE, still has near-perfect acoustics and hosts summer performances.

Visiting

The sanctuary and theatre share one ticket. The Athens Epidaurus Festival puts on ancient drama in the theatre in July and August.
