Olympia was established in Greece as the most important religious and sports centre. Here were born the most important games of ancient Greece, the Olympics, which took place every four years in honour of Zeus, an institution with pan-Hellenic radiance and brilliance from antiquity to the present day. The archaeological site of Olympia, one of the largest in the country, gave us one of the richest sets of monuments and works of art, such as Hermes of Praxiteles. Here we will see, in addition to the stadium (45,000 seats), the temples of Hera and Zeus, the Philippion, the Council house, the laboratory of Feidias and the Museum.

After a dip in history, we will go for a dip in one of the most beautiful beaches of the Peloponnese, located near ancient Olympia. There we will also have lunch before our return to Athens. (Swimming on the beach, concerns the summer months)
