Olympic Games and Ancient Olympia Beach Tour from Athens

First stop is the Canal of Corinth. It is a canal that was finally built in 1890, although the idea of its passage already existed from 602 BC. The view from here is breathtaking.Olympia was established in Greece as the most important religious and sports center. Here were born the most important games of Ancient Greece, the Olympics, which took place every four years in honor of Zeus, an institution with pan-Hellenic radiance and brilliance from antiquity to the present day. The archeological site of Olympia, one of the largest in the country, gave us one of the richest sets of monuments and works of art, such as Hermes of Praxiteles. Here we will see, in addition to the stadium (45,000 seats), the temples of Hera and Zeus, the Philippion, the Council house, the laboratory of Feidias and the Museum. After a dip in history, we will go for a dip in one of the most beautiful beaches of the Peloponnese, located near ancient Olympia, where you can take a swim. There we will also have lunch before our return to Athens.
