Overview

Don’t Miss Ancient Olympia, where the first Olympic Games ever took place!

The Ancient Greeks were known for their love of arts, nature, and of course sports! This tour takes you to the famous site where the first Olympic Games were held in the 8th Century BC. Interesting fact-The Olympic flame of the modern-day Olympic Games is lit by reflection of sunlight in a parabolic mirror in front of the Temple of Hera and then transported by a torch to the place where the games are held.
