Welcome to Ancient Olympia
Amongst shady pine, olive and oak trees, in a valley between
Mount Kronos and the Alfios River on the Peloponnese Peninsula,
lie
the remains of two temples and the stadium where the first
Olympic Games took place in 776 BC. Since the modern Olympics
were inaugurated in 1896 torchbearers have set out from
Olympia to carry the Olympic flame in relays across the
world to wherever the games are held every four years. The
site also boasts one of the finest archaeological museums
in Greece.
The ruins themselves are fascinating, being the remnants of
an
ancient Olympic village including a gymnasium, baths,
the Prytaneion where winners were honoured, and a Doric Temple
dedicated to Hera. In the nearbymodern village of Olympia
there is another museum that is often overlooked - the Museum
of the Olympic Games, which contains some interesting memorabilia
from games past.
Opening
time: Daily 8am to 7.30pm; Admission: €6 (adults),
€3 concessions; €9 ticket for museum and site
(concessions €5)
