We will meet at the Parking Lot of the archaeological site of Ancient Olympia
In the archaeological site we’ll see the ruins of the great temple of Zeus, the largest ancient Greek temple of Southern Greece, the stadium, were all the athletic contests were taking place, and the altar of Hera, where the Olympic Flame is lit, several months before the beginning of the modern Olympics
You’ll be able to see some of the finest pieces of ancient Greek art, including the sculptures of the Temple of Zeus and the statue of Nike of Paionios. The central piece of the collection is the statue of Hermes and the infant Dionysus, widely considered to be the greatest sculptural group of Ancient Greece
The market is located outside the museum and offers traditional products of the region like olives, olive oil, jams, ouzo and loukoumi. You will also find books, clothes, ceramics and figurines of Ancient Greek gods
