Overview

Ancient Olympia is one of the most inspiring and historically important sites in Greece. Nestled among green hills and olive groves, this is where the Olympic Games were born — a tradition that lives on to this day. Walking through the archaeological site, you can stand on the ancient stadium track where athletes once competed, and explore the remains of the majestic Temple of Zeus — once one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

A visit to the Archaeological Museum of Olympia is a must. It houses the famous marble statue of Hermes by Praxiteles, along with stunning sculptures, ancient weapons, jewelry, and other fascinating artifacts.

But Olympia is more than history. It’s a peaceful and naturally beautiful place where you can truly feel the spirit of Ancient Greece, connect with the past, and enjoy a break from the modern world. It’s the perfect destination for those who love culture, mythology, and timeless inspiration.
