New Asklepion

The New Asklepion is a unique initiative that seeks to preserve and modernize an ancient archetype. It aims to rejuvenate the old Methana spa site by reformulating ancient Asklepion rites and addressing the health concerns of visitors. This anachronistic program challenges the conventional Greek tourism landscape by offering a novel typology and innovative medical programs. The EU cross-border initiative promotes international medical tourism and provides visitors with flexibility in choosing their preferred treatment types.

The captivating Saronic landscape in Greece is a major attraction for health seekers from all over Europe who are drawn to the New Asklepion. The peninsula of Methana has a rich history as a hot spring haven, with therapeutic sulfuric water sourced from active nearby volcanic formations. The New Asklepion draws inspiration from the mysterious rituals of the nearby Epidaurus healing center of ancient Greece, encouraging travelers to explore the region and discover its historic healthcare customs.
