Αρχαία Ολυμπία
Ancient Olympia
Ancient Olympia is in the western Peloponnese in the area also called ‘’valley of gods’’. It is built at the foot of the mountain, in the beautiful valley of river Alfeios. The most glorious sanctuary of ancient Greece dedicated to the father of the gods, was flourished here. This is the birthplace of the most important sporting events. The Olympic Games, the greatest sporting events of antiquity united all Greeks of known world, every four years starting from 776 BC. During the activities, all hostilities ceased so that everyone could take part in the games.
Homeland of Olympic Games is one of the most famous destinations in Greece and one of the most powerful landmarks of world prestige. We highly recommend a visit to the Archaeological Museum of Olympia and see up close ancient exhibits, with the most important being Hermes of Praxitelis, one of the most famous ancient statues, the Victory of Peony, a masterpiece of ancient Greek sculpture and the sculptural decoration of the Temple of Zeus, one of the most beautiful ensembles preserved from ancient Greek art.
