The marble of Epidaurus is mined in Argolis. It is a calcareous marble mined in shades of red, grey, and brown. The red Epidaurus marble has white waters. Its color is attributed to the Ammonitico Rosso limestones found in the Argolis region. With a market presence originating back to the 80’s, in floors of well-known hotels at the time, it returns to the forefront as an ideal solution for floor applications, and interior, as well as exterior cladding.
