Guided tour of the archaeological site and archaeological museum in Olympia

Guided tour of the archaeological site and archaeological museum of ancient Olympia by an Italian-born guide/archaeologist.
The guided tour of the archaeological site of ancient Olympia and its museum is an exciting journey into the heart of the history and origins of the Olympic Games.

As you stroll through the ruins, you feel the sacred atmosphere of a place where humanity celebrated the cult of competition and excellence. Every stone, every temple, tells stories of athletes who challenged their own limits in the name of honor and glory.

During a guided tour at the archaeological site of Olympia we will talk about the Olympic Games, their history and importance. We will talk about myths and legends and visit the athletes' training grounds, the sacred site of Olympia with the imposing temple of Zeus that housed the chryselephantine statue of Zeus, and the temple of Hera where the Olympic flame is lit every four years to start the games. Afterwards, we will visit the Olympic stadium where both young and old could test our athletic endurance!

In the museum, we can admire artistic masterpieces and extraordinary artifacts, evidence of the creative genius of ancient Greece.

During the guided tour in the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, we will have the opportunity to observe the grand works of art and objects related to the Olympic Games and the sacred site of Olympia, including the fascinating pediments of the temple of Zeus, the tools of the sculptor Phidias who made the Chryselephantine statue of Zeus, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, Praxiteles' Hermes, and Peonius' Nike. Each statue, each object, speaks of a past rich in culture and values that still inspire the world today. This experience is an opportunity to reflect on the human spirit, perseverance and the quest for perfection that, millennia ago as today, continue to guide humanity.

The guided tour lasts around two and a half hours. The meeting point is in front of the ticket office of the archaeological site, and the tour ends in front of the exit of the archaeological museum. You can choose the whole package, or just the guided tour at the Olympia archaeological site, which lasts an hour and a half.
