Archaeological Site of Olympia

After an approx. 30 min of enjoyable ride you will reach Ancient Olympia. We will drop you off just outside of the world-wide famous Archaeological Site of Ancient Olympia. Enjoy several hours of free time to explore the site and monuments at your own pace(*the professional licensed guide can be arranged for additional charge if requested). See the gymnasium and Palaestra, where athletes practiced leading up to competition, and feel millennia of energy as you enter the ancient stadium, where ancient Greece’s finest athletes strove to honor the gods through the Olympic ideal. Marvel at the Temple of Zeus, where the famous golden statue of the god—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World—once stood. See the Leonidaion, a hotel built in 330 BC to host distinguished guests of the games, and delve even deeper into the history of the world's greatest athletic competition with displays and original artifacts at the Olympia Museum.

  • I'm fine.

    I'm fine. New car, very comfortable and ample space - The very nice driver has his own restaurant - The food was very good and cheap there - after visiting Olympia he drove us to a small very nice beach. On Viator's site I searched for German tours and they were suggested to me. She's in English, though, where I'm scared at first. He then gave us a German booklet. Because everything in Olympia is written in German, you can also go well without a tour guide. The ticket costs EUR 20.00 per person.

  • Very nice driver and beautiful, comfy van

    Nassos picked us up at the port in a beautiful, cool, luxurious van. Andraes answered all of our questions and told us about his country. They connected us to Helena, a tour guide for Olympia. We enjoyed her very much. Then Nassos picked us up after we toured Olympia, and we did a little shopping before going swimming in the sea. Nassos then took us back to the port. It was a wonderful excursion. You have a car and driver for the morning. They want you to be happy and will take you where you want to go.

    Nicolas and Andreas were caring and kind drivers. They gave us time to fully understand Olympia and soak up history and culture. They have been open to our requests. It was a nice accompaniment that we recommend.
