Overview

With this tour you have a unique opportunity to visit the western Peloponnese, in the "Valley of Gods", lies the most celebrated sanctuary of ancient Greece, and the birthplace of the most important athletic mega-event of all times; the Olympic Games. Olympia is one of the most well-known tourist destinations in Greece, under UNESCO's heritage and one of the most powerful brand names worldwide. You will walk through the impressive ruins of the area where athletes trained and run in the ancient stadium; just as the ancient Olympians did after their victory 3000 years ago. Also you will visit the museum and get the chance to see some unbelievable sculptures such as the sculpted decoration of the temple of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the famous Hermis of Praxiteles and the statue of Nike of Paionios.

Itinerary

  • Archaeological Site of Olympia

    Ancient Olympia is the place where the first Olympic Games ever took place in 776 B.C. and of course, the place where the Olympic flame is ignited every 4 years and transferred from there to the country that hosts the Olympic Games. There you will see the temple of Zeus which in antiquity was housing one of the 7 wonders of the Ancient world, the gold and ivory statue of Zeus, created by the famous Phidias. You will also see the temple of Hera, the shrine of Pelops (one of the oldest in the sanctuary), the Council house where the athletes took the Olympic oath, the Treasury houses, the Gymnasium and the Palestra where they used to exercise for a month prior to the Games. Also, you will visit the Stadium where the marble starting blocks are still in position.

    1 hour

  • Museum of the Olympic Games

    Continue your tour and visit the world-famous Archeological Museum of Olympia where you can admire the unique statue of Hermes and other impressive exhibits. Although secluded near the west coast of the Peloponnese, Olympia became the most important religious and athletic center in Greece.

    1 hour

  • Olympia

    Afterwards, we will reach the modern village of Olympia and enjoy a walk there for shopping or coffee in one of the many available places. If time permits, we will also make a visit to the Association of Agriculture where you will have the opportunity to taste for free local wine and olive oil (the region of Olympia and Peloponnese in general is one with the highest production of olive oil).

Olympia private driver

Published on Jul, 2023

Aggelos our driver was the best! He made us feel comfortable and he was very knowledgeable. But must of all he made us feel at home. I would highly recommend Aggelos and his company for anywhere in Greece. Thank you for giving my family the best experience possible.

Amazing experience i recommend it

Published on Jul, 2023

The small group tour to Ancient Olympia and the museum booked by G.T.P was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all expectations. Our certified guide was a true gem, engaging us with captivating narratives and a deep understanding of the site's historical significance. With a small group, we felt connected to both the guide and the ancient wonders surrounding us. Exploring the well-preserved ruins was like stepping back in time, and the Olympia Archaeological Museum added another layer of fascination with its valuable artifacts. The guide's explanations enriched our understanding and left us in awe of ancient Greek civilization. The cultural immersion at the local market was a delightful surprise. Sampling Famous Greek olive oil and fine wines made us appreciate the Mediterranean's culinary heritage. The seamless blend of contemporary life with historical charm in the village was captivating, making the entire journey feel even more special. This small group tour is a must for anyone seeking an intimate and enriching encounter with Ancient Olympia's heritage. It left us with cherished memories and a deeper appreciation for the ancient world

Better the Second Time!

Published on Jul, 2023

We had an excellent guide that provided us with an in-depth understanding of the events surrounding the origin of what we today know as the 'Olympic Games.' It's hard to imagine anyone knowing and being able to share the vast amount of information he had on 'recall.' The added stories and anecdotes kept things interesting while in the open areas as well as in the museum. This was our second time visiting the site and we weren't especially looking forward to it as the first time, it was rather boring. This time it was really worth the tour and parent company was very easy to work with in scheduling the tour. The first part of the tour was to the archeological site itself, followed by the museum, and then to a business that produces all manner of olive oils and all kinds of other things - foods as well as souvenirs. Sometimes going to a business after the tour seems a little out of place, but this one was worth it and all in the group we were working with, thoroughly enjoyed spending time there.
