• Archaeological Site of Olympia - Olympia is a UNESCO World Heritage site that resembles a park. With a local tour guide, visitors can explore key attractions such as:

  • The athletic facilities and ancient gymnasiums.
  • The Temple of Zeus, which once housed the gold-and-ivory statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
  • The Temple of Hera, where the marble statue of Hermes by Praxiteles was discovered during excavations. This site also hosts the ceremony for lighting the Olympic torch.
  • The Olympic Stadium, which was the venue for the ancient Olympic Games.

• Temple of Zeus - Constructed in the 5th century BC, the Temple of Zeus was the largest in the Peloponnese and served as an architectural model for Greece’s iconic Parthenon in Athens. In antiquity, it was home to the gold-and-ivory statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

• Temple of Hera - As the oldest temple at the Olympic site, it was built in the 7th century BC to honor Hera, the wife of Zeus. In the early AD years, it functioned as a museum, housing various antiquities, including the nearly intact marble statue of Hermes by Praxiteles, a 4th-century BC masterpiece now displayed in the Archaeological Museum of Olympia. The Temple of Hera also hosts the Olympic torch lighting ceremony.

• Stadium at Olympia - This is the largest ancient Greek stadium, with a capacity of 45,000 spectators, and it hosted the ancient Olympic Games. Located at the base of Kronion Hill, it remains preserved as it was. It is a highlight of any visit to the Olympic site. Visitors are encouraged to run on the original track, just as ancient athletes did, albeit in the nude!
