Visit Ancient Olympia, one of Greece's most significant archaeological sites and the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Nestled in a lush natural setting on the banks of the Alfeios River, Olympia has been a meeting point of culture, sports, and peace since ancient times. The Olympic Games, dedicated to Zeus, inspired the modern global sporting tradition and continue to convey the values of fair competition and peaceful coexistence.
During your tour of the archaeological site, you'll have the opportunity to see up close the famous Stadium, the Temple of Zeus, the Temple of Hera, as well as the workshop of Phidias – the great sculptor who created the ivory and gold statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Olympia Museum houses unique exhibits that bring the history and glory of that era to life.
Ancient Olympia is just 12 kilometers from Olympia Castle Studios, making it an ideal destination for a day trip. Whether you're a history enthusiast or simply wish to experience an authentic cultural adventure, a visit to Olympia will leave you with unforgettable memories.
