Upon arrival in Olympia, guests will collect their tickets and meet their professional tour guide to begin a captivating tour of this sacred and historic site.
Olympia, the cradle of the ancient Olympic Games, stands as a powerful symbol of unity and the spiritual grandeur of the Greek nation. Nestled among the hills of the Elis region, at the confluence of the Kladeos and Alpheios rivers, Olympia was the only place in Ancient Greece where both physical strength and intellectual excellence were celebrated with equal reverence. “A healthy mind in a healthy body.”
According to historical records, the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. They were abolished in 393 AD by decree of Emperor Theodosius I, and after a 1,500-year hiatus, the Olympic Games were revived in 1896 in Athens.
In ancient times, athletes from across the known world would gather here to compete in honour of their god. The prize for the victor? A humble olive branch. Even today, every four years, the Olympic Flame is lit at the Temple of Hera in Olympia, marking the beginning of the modern Olympic Games.
Guided Visit Highlights: Temple of Zeus, Temple of Hera, Ancient Stadium, and Archaeological Museum of Olympia.
