Our adventure begins in the ancient city of Olympia – birthplace of the Olympic Games in 776 BC and one of the most important sites in antiquity. We wonder at the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic Flame burns. We will also explore the Temple of Zeus, where the golden and ivory statue of Zeus (one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World) was housed.

We visit the site of the original Olympics Stadium and Bouleuterion, where locals assembled to discuss the topics of the day. Our tour heads on to the Archaeological Museum of Olympia where we’ll be amazed at ancient exhibits such as the marble statues of the Temple of Zeus and the unique statue of Hermes carved by the ancient Greek sculptor Praxiteles.
