After this amazing experience we head to

Peloponnese to reach Ancient Olympia. Traveling in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle we proceed to the

Corinth Canal where we can have a short photo stop to admire the canal which separates the mainland of Greece from the Peloponnese Peninsula and connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf.

We continue our day trip traveling to

Ancient Olympia! The UNESCO World Heritage-listed

Olympia is the site where the

first Olympic Games of the ancient world were held in 776 B.C. The story of the place goes back much further as this was one of the holiest and one of the most celebrated places in Ancient Greece.

See the ruins of the

Temple of Zeus and the -better preserved-

Temple of Hera where the

Olympic flame is lit before its journey around the World. Visit the

Palaestra where the ancient athletes would train and of course the

Archaeological Museum of Olympia –one of the most important in Greece including the renowned statue of the messenger god Hermes by the sculptor Praxiteles.

After a day full of images and lifetime experiences we return to your hotel in Athens
