Exploring the Archaeological Site of Olympia was an unforgettable journey back in time. As an avid enthusiast of history and ancient civilizations, this site exceeded all my expectations. Walking amidst the ruins where the Olympic Games were born filled me with a sense of reverence and wonder. The site is meticulously preserved, allowing visitors to truly immerse themselves in the rich history and culture of ancient Greece. From the remains of the Temple of Zeus to the iconic stadium, every corner of Olympia tells a story of the past. The knowledgeable guides on-site provided fascinating insights into the significance of each structure and artifact, enhancing the overall experience. Additionally, the signage and information boards were informative and easy to follow, making it accessible for visitors of all ages. The natural beauty surrounding the site adds another layer of charm to the visit. The lush greenery and tranquil atmosphere create a serene backdrop for exploring the ancient ruins. Overall, my visit to the Archaeological Site of Olympia was both educational and inspiring. It's a must-see destination for anyone with an interest in history, archaeology, or the origins of the Olympic Games. I highly recommend allocating ample time to fully appreciate everything this remarkable site has to offer.

An archaeological site of historical importance. This is huge place and you need ample time to cover it entirely. Aslo there is musuem inside the place. The place is very kept and maintained. It's clean. All the past time events information is sculpted on the rocks which are available to read and which give you a proper insight of the place. The ancient Olympia stadium is huge and beautiful to watch. This place has a very pleasant weather and you don't feel tied to see the place. Many important events and benchmarks in the Greek mythology have taken place here. Best time to visit this place will be in the morning. Parking is available outside. I suggest you to hire a guide while you take a tour of this place to get explained all the events and the importance of all the sculptures and monuments in Greek History. Also there are restaurants nearby where you can have your meal. Do visit this place. Thank You.

Olympia is a must visit site. It’s comprised of the main archeological area and two separate museums. Don’t feel like you have to visit with a huge tourist group, we didn’t. We drove and parked at the location and visited at our leisure. The parking was free and the entrance wasn’t expensive. Save some dollars and enjoy the country drive. The roads to get here are narrow though, expect to see full sized tourist busses, cars, trucks, RVs, and maybe even some sheep on the road. It is paved though. It’s a large area and it’s hot! They gave us free water twice, but don’t worry, there are loads of trees around to get shade. I’d highly suggest visiting the two museums first to get more background on the actual site, we didn’t do this and it was a missed opportunity. However, the museums are fantastic and it’s impressive how long they have been around, the items inside are spectacular too.

It is a wonderful place to walk in the footsteps of ancient Greek athletes, with some great examples of Greek and Roman archaeology. You can truly gain a sense of what would have been the hustle and bustle of this famous city. It is much more 'touristy' than any of the other places we visited in the peloponnese, with cruise ship guests being 'bussed' in and out. The museum was especially fascinating! The only thing that let it down were the rather snooty female staff stationed around the museum. Far to busy 'shooshing' young, interested children (not just ours, all the young kids as far as I could see) because they were worried the elderly guests would get upset.....guess what, its the kids you want to be interested in history and not the hoards of geriatrics. The young people are the future, the ones who you want to engage, and don't forget it!

Stepping into Olympia is like opening a captivating book that tells tales of ancient times. Every stone, every pathway, every monument echoes with the whispers of history, painting vivid images of a bygone era. The majesty of the site is undeniable, offering a rare glimpse into the heart of ancient Greek civilization. As you wander through its expansive grounds, you don’t just see history – you feel it, palpable in the air, resonating with legends of gods and heroes. A visit to Olympia isn’t just an exploration, it’s a journey back in time. For those curious souls seeking a profound connection with the past and a deeper understanding of humanity’s rich tapestry, Olympia awaits with its timeless allure. Highly recommended for history enthusiasts and dreamers alike.
