Sightseeing Tour to Ancient Olympia

See the archaeological ruins of the ancient Olympic Games village and marvel at the Temple of Zeus


Attractions and things to do - Sightseeing Tour to Ancient Olympia

Sail to the Greek mainland and take a step back in time at Olympia, the site of the original ancient Olympic Games, held in 776 B.C.

The archaeological site of Olympia came to light after excavations were carried out here by the German archaeologist Ernst Curtius. Wander around the Olympic Village, including the running track and original Olympic Stadium where races were run and victories won thousands of years ago.

Olympia is also home to the sacred temple of Zeus of 470 B.C., where once stood a seventh wonder of the ancient world. The Temple of Zeus at Olympia is one of the earliest examples of fully developed temple design in Greece, and is considered a model of Doric temple architecture.
