Ancient Olympia

Ancient Olympia, the village and archaeological site of Ilia, is a World Heritage Site (UNESCO) and is located on the plain by the river Alfeios. The ancient stadium, the sanctuary of Zeus, the Mercury of Praxiteles and the temple of Hera are just some of the sites that will impress you at the cradle of the Olympic Games with their deep historical heritage – and a “flame” that still burns.
