Highlights
A day-visit to Olympia, an UNESCO World Heritage site and the birthplace of the Olympic Games, one of the four most worshipped athletic event in the Ancient Greek world, is never enough.
Visit the Temple of Zeus, once decorated with a gold and ivory statue of the father of Gods, crafted by the famous Phidias which was among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Enter the Stadium, and find yourself in another era. Feel the athletes running around the Stadion and the cheers of the funs! Later on, you may visit the Archaeological museum which houses art masterpieces like the Hermes of Praxiteles and the Nike (Victory) of Paionios and the sculptures once decorating the Temple of Zeus.
Before leaving Olympia for the return to Athens, we will visit a local honey farm, for a rest at its gardens. While sipping a glass of fresh juice or a cup of Greek coffee with a hand-made quince spoonful sweet.
Itinerary
Corinth Canal
15 minsAdmission Ticket FreeOur driver will meet you at your hotel at 08:30 and depart for Ancient Olympia, traveling along the highway through the Peloponnese. After about an hour, we will make a short stop at the Corinth Canal to rest and take photos. The canal’s iron bridge was once the only road entrance to the Peloponnese until the Rio-Antirrio bridge opened in 2004. Today, mid-range cruisers and smaller ships still pass through the narrow canal, shortening their journey between the Aegean and Ionian Seas.Archaeological Site of Olympia
