Olympia Travel Vacations

Explore the archaeological ruins of Olympia, situated in the Ilia region of the western Peloponnese Peninsula by a modern town of the same name, on mainland Greece. As the birthplace of the prestigious Olympic Games about three millennia ago, this is believed to be the place where Zeus defeated his father Kronos. Ancient Olympia celebrated athletic competition, religion, and the arts, and the famous Olympic torch is still lit here to keep the tradition alive. Across the Kaldeos river at the foot of Kronious Hill, the splendid ruins showcase a sprawling stadium, a gymnasium, a hippodrome, accommodation blocks, baths, and temples dedicated to Zeus and Hera. The museums here exhibit Olympia’s archaeological treasures and the history of Olympic champions. The modern, compact town of Olympia offers a gateway to this ancient site with plenty of dining and lodging facilities for visitors.
