Vacation in
Olympia
Overview:
Olympia is one of the most popular destinations
for tourists in Greece. Even cruise ships dock
at the nearby port of Katakolo and put people on
buses to visit the ancient site. The village of
Olympia itself is a collection of tourist shops,
cafes, restaurants and a Historical Museum of
the Olympic Games.
Olympia, a sanctuary of ancient Greece in Elis,
is known for having been the site of the Olympic
Games in classical times, comparable in
importance to the Pythian Games held in Delphi.
The Olympic Games date back possibly further
than 776 BC.
