Ancient Olympia
About 100km from Patras, you will find
Ancient Olympia, another charming
tourism destination, mainly due to
its great archaeological, cultural and
historical value. With Patras as a base,
make a daily trip with your family or
friends to the birthplace and seat of the
Olympic Games, to see the most glorious
temple of Ancient Greece dedicated to
Zeus. Admire the archaeological site and
the chancel, a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. In Ancient Olympia excavations
brought to light parts of the temple of
Zeus that, until this day, were exhibited to
the Museum of Louvre in Paris.
