ANCIENT OLYMPIA

Experience the famous site of Olympia one of the most important sanctuaries of antiquity dedicated to the father of the Olympian Zeus and birth-place of the Olympic Games! The sanctuary of Olympia spreads around the green wooded feet of the Kronion Hill where the rivers Alpheios and Cladeos meet. Here you will walk with your guide and learn interesting facts about Ancient Greece and the Games. Thereafter you will proceed on foot to the Archaeological Museum which is one of the most important of its kind in Greece and hosts an impressive collection of artefacts. The new museum was constructed in 1975 and eventually opened in 1982 re-exhibiting its treasures. Following some time here you will join your coach for a drive back to your ship.
