Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
On this excursion, the venue of the Olympic Games in ancient times and the Sanctuary of Zeus are on the program. It is one of the most famous sights in Greece. See the birthplace of the Olympics, the Temple of Zeus, the stadium, the statue of Hermes of Praxiteles and artifacts in the museum. The most valuable finds are exhibited in the museum. On a model you can understand how the area has gone out in antiquity. This is very worth seeing, since the ancient Olympia was heavily destroyed by both humans and natural disasters.

It is an old, large estate with a rich history in the production of wine and olive oil, formerly also of black raisins.
