* Ancient Olympia is the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Charming with its beauty and tranquility, Olympia is located in a gorge surrounded by greenery between the Alfey and Kladey rivers in the Altis grove. Since prehistoric times, the Olympic Games have been held here every four years in honor of the god Olympian Zeus. The modern Olympic Games were revived in Athens in 1896, and since then, every four years, the Olympic Flame is lit from the sun on the altar of the ancient temple of Hera, which is transferred by a sports relay to Athens to the Panathenaic White Marble Stadium, where the ceremony of handing over the Olympic Flame to the country hosting the next Olympics is held. We will be able to explore the temples of Olympian Zeus, the goddess Hera, the sacred Olympic stadium, the site of the Olympic flame, and the archaeological museum, which preserves unique priceless finds from the excavations of ancient Olympia. The statue "Hermes with baby Dionysus in his arms" by Praxiteles, recognized as the best masterpiece of the ancient world, is kept in the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Olympia. Today, it is a peaceful place surrounded by pine trees and plane trees, where temples, a gymnasium and a stadium have been preserved, where, almost 3,000 years later, athletics competitions were held during the 2004 Olympic Games.
