Begin your Ancient Olympia Tour, a private and luxurious day trip from Athens, where history and legend come together in a seamless journey. Travel in the comfort of your own minibus as you embark on an unforgettable escape into Greece’s glorious past.
The adventure starts early in the morning, departing from your accommodation in Athens. A short drive brings us to the awe-inspiring Corinth Canal, where you can take in the breathtaking view. This remarkable waterway divides the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, and you’ll have the unique opportunity to watch ships navigate the passage, connecting the Aegean and Ionian Seas.
We then continue westward, watching the cityscape of Athens gradually fade into the distance as we make our way through the serene countryside of the Peloponnese, heading toward the legendary land of Olympia.
Nestled in the “Valley of the Gods,” Olympia stands as the birthplace of the Olympic Games and the most celebrated sanctuary of ancient Greece. Upon arrival, you’ll explore the archaeological site and museum, marveling at the ruins of the magnificent Temple of Zeus.
Wander through the Altis, the sanctuary of the gods, where the remains of Olympic sports structures still stand, offering a glimpse into the games that began in 776 B.C.
After immersing yourself in this journey through ancient history, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before we return to Athens, arriving before nightfall.
