Birthplace of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games were held every four years throughout Classical Antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Make sure you visit the Ancient Stadium .

Awesome historical place, it's huge and you'll need quite a bit of time to walk around. Worth it nonetheless. Get a book guide!

Visit Greece

The grand site of Ancient Olympia! The best way to get the most out of your visit is to race in the stadium like the athletes used to do

Giana Zulkafli

Best to wear proper shoes or sandals as it is dusty and has a fair bit of walking. Don't forget to read up so you can imagine the once magnificent Zeus temple .

You must visit it in early morning (8-10am) or late afternoon (6-8pm) because it is very hot.

Robert

Get there early to beat the crowds. Viewing the entire grounds should take no more than 1,5 hours.

Mítico lugar !!!, se recomienda zapatos cómodos, su botella de agua , protección solar y su sombrero o vicera, ya que en primavera y verano es bastante el calor, no olvide visitar el estadio Olímpico

Alfonso R

El impresionante y mítico lugar donde nació el concepto que inspiró las Olimpiadas modernas .

Konstantinos M.

Είναι απρόοπτα ευχάριστο να βλέπεις ότι τουλάχιστον κάποιο μέρος από τα υπέρογκα ποσά που ξοδεύτηκαν για τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες αξιοποιήθηκαν σωστά.

Nata Androsenko

По понедельникам все музеи 10-17 (другие дни 8-15). Развалины - 8-15 каждый день.

Burak Doğan

Para verip de sit alanına girmek gerekli mi? Eğer arkeoloji son sınıftaysanız ve bitirme ödevi yapıypsanız evet. Aksi halde bana göre hepsi daş.
