The
"easy and efficient way" to visit and explore
ancient Olympia.
- Departing from
Athens 07.00 am. we drive on the highway 8a southwards,
passing by ancient Corinth, a wealthy and powerful
ancient City State, capital of "Roman" Greece
(146 BC - 330 AD). Most of us know the city of Corinth
from the life of St. Paul, who lived in ancient Corinth
for nearly 2 years and wrote the letters to the
Corinthians after he left.
- The Corinth canal was the source of the city's wealth,
and so, we cannot drive on without stopping for a couple
of pictures. After a 15 min. stop, we continue on the
freeway and arrive at Olympia 11.00 am., driving along
the ring roads of Patras, (biggest city in Peloponissos),
and the city of Pyrgos.
- During the free time at Olympia with the help of a
professional lisenced tour guide you visit the museums,
explore the ancient site, and relax in the peaceful
atmosphere of the modern Olympia town. Olympia
is definitely a place worth your visit;
a place you will remember every time
you watch the lighting of the Olympic flame, the
beginning of the Olympic torch relay, and the ceremony at
the monument of De Coubertin, where his heart is buried.
- For the return, we drive a different way, through the
middle of Peloponissos, the city of Tripolis, to arrive
in Athens at 8 pm.
