Ancient Olympia is among the most exquisite and important places in Greece and a Unesco world heritage site. The archaeological site of Olympia, located in the western of Peloponnese, is the site of the first ancient Olympic Games!
The first Olympiad is thought to have taken place in 776 BC.

Its extensive ruins include athletic training areas, a stadium and temples dedicated to the gods Hera and Zeus. The Archaeological Museum of Olympia exhibits finds from the site, including a statue of Hermes attributed to the sculptor Praxiteles.

Olympia's Archaeological Museum, is one of the most important museums of Greece. The exhibition contains great masterpieces from the long history of the Olympic Games’ birthplace, and thousands of years of art. The exhibits are displayed in chronological and thematic order from Prehistoric down to Roman times. Among the many precious exhibits the sculpture collection, for which the museum is most famous, the bronze collection, the richest collection of its type in the world, and the large terracottas collection, are especially noteworthy.

The Olympic Games in antiquity represented peace and the nobility of competition. Olympia was a place of particular religious and ideological value. These ideals and values have continued to this day. Through the priceless artefacts that once decorated the sanctuary, visitors can feel the ideals and be inspired by the same elements that drove athletes and pilgrims in antiquity.
