General Description Travel back in time to the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games with a visit to the Archaeological Site of Ancient Olympia, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most significant historical landmarks in the Peloponnese.

Head straight into the archaeological zone and explore the sacred grounds where the first Olympic Games were held. Stroll among the impressive ruins and admire the remains of monumental temples that once defined this powerful sanctuary of Zeus.

Stand before the Temple of Zeus, the largest temple in the Peloponnese and a prime example of Doric architecture, once home to the chryselephantine statue of Zeus—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Then, visit the Temple of Hera, one of the oldest monumental temples in Greece, dedicated to the queen of the Olympian gods.

Continue your walk through the ancient gymnasium, the palaestra (wrestling school), the hippodrome, and the stadium, where athletes competed in honor of the gods. Imagine the energy of the crowd as you stand at the starting line of the original Olympic track.

Next, delve deeper into history at the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, home to an extraordinary collection of artifacts unearthed from the sacred Altis sanctuary. Discover statues, votive offerings, and architectural elements that illustrate the artistic and cultural achievements of Ancient Greece.

Complete your experience at the Museum of the History of the Olympic Games of Antiquity, where you’ll learn about the origins and evolution of the ancient games. This museum presents unique findings and exhibits that highlight the athletic, religious, and political significance of the Olympics throughout Greek history.

A visit to Ancient Olympia is more than just a journey into the past—it’s an exploration of one of the most influential cultural traditions in human history and a powerful reminder of the timeless values of sport, honor, and unity.
