Despite
the damage by the earthquakes and the floods, the
site is worthy of your visit. The setting is magical,
making it the most beautiful major site in the
Peloponnese. Both, the archaeological museum and
the museum of the ancient Games are among the
finest in Greece, making your visit to
Olympia a must. There is no modern
equivalent for ancient Olympia - a religious and
at the same time an athletic centre. Men
travelled from every part of the ancient World to
compete in these Games and the winners became
legends. Over 50,000 of spectators came to watch the
Games every four years and support the athletes. The area was buried under the alluvial
deposits of the two rivers until its discovery in
1852. Since then, thousands of people visit it
every year and admire its wealth and importance
in antiquity.Take the ONE DAY TOUR TO
OLYMPIA that we organise and be one of
them. A visit to the original site of the Olympic
Games is a moving experience. Running in the
original stadium is an unforgettable one. And
every two years the lighting of the Olympic
flame for the next Olympics will bring back
memories from this day tour.
Ancient
Olympia has cultivated ideals. The importance of
the Olympics was greater than the honours paid to
the athletes. The ancient Greeks came to Olympia every 4 years,
you will only go once in your lifetime.
The
visit to ancient Olympia is not a long boring
trip anymore. During the tour to Olympia
you will learn a lot about Greece,
otherwise called HELLAS
and officially known as HELLENIC
REPUBLIC and the Greeks known as
HELLENES. Clients'
