Epidauros

Epidauros is home to possibly the world's most acoustically well-built theater. A person can stand in the center and drop a dime and a person at the top can hear it!

Epidaurus also hosts the Asklepion, a healing center dedicated to the god Asklepius. Even though Paul never visited here, one can gain a lot of information about the religious practices and beliefs of the time from this site.
