What to expect

After a scenic drive through the beautiful Greek countryside, you'll arrive at Ancient Olympia—the legendary birthplace of the Olympic Games. Here, you can wander among the ruins of the Temple of Hera, where the modern flame is still lit, and admire the site of the grand Temple of Zeus. You'll also have the opportunity to explore the original Stadium and Bouleuterion.

Following a day steeped in history, take some time to relax in the delightful contemporary village of Olympia. Enjoy a leisurely stroll down its narrow lanes, indulge in some retail therapy or savour authentic Greek cuisine.

Next, hop aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned coach for a seamless transfer to the Corinth Canal. As you journey through the spectacular Greek countryside, soak up the views before arriving at Ancient Olympia. This is where athletic prowess, spiritual devotion, and architectural genius once converged, making it one of Greece's most iconic sanctuaries.

Your exploration begins with the Temple of Hera, a sacred site where the modern Olympic Flame is still ignited before every Games. Then proceed to the majestic Temple of Zeus, which was once home to an enormous gold-and-ivory statue of Zeus—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
