Athens Olympia Tour:
This wonderful trip will start from your hotel in Athens or Piraeus. On the way to Olympia you will be amazed by the modern engineering masterpiece of the Corinth Canal (Isthmus Canal) where we can have a short stop for coffee.
Then you can explore the Archaeological Museum, where many of Olympia’s greatest works of art and artifacts are displayed. Highlights of the museum include the Sculpture from the Temple of Zeus, arguably the finest surviving examples of Archaic Greek sculpture, the 5th century BC Winged Victory by Paiongs, the 4th century BC Hermes of Praxiteles and a model of the reconstructed ancient Olympia site.
Furthermore, you can visit the place where the Olympic Flame is ignited every four years for the modern Olympic Games. There you can let yourself step back in history, run and follow the footsteps of the first athletes.
Later on, you may take a stroll through the town of Olympia and soak up the modern flavor of the town. Finally, you might have an optional excursion to a local winery and sip on the varieties of wine produced there, or visit a local restaurant and have lunch with traditional food and wine, before we head back to your hotel.
