  2. The Temple of Zeus, located in Olympia, Greece, was one of the most significant and grandiose structures in the ancient world. Built around 470 BCE, it was dedicated to the king of the Greek gods, Zeus. The temple housed a massive statue of Zeus, created by the renowned sculptor Phidias, which was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The temple itself was an example of classical Doric architecture and was known for its size, grandeur, and artistic decorations. Unfortunately, the temple was destroyed by earthquakes, but its remains still stand as a testament to ancient Greek architectural and artistic achievement.

About Katakolo

Katakolo is a small port on the west coast of the Peloponnese and the nearest harbour to ancient Olympia, where the Olympic Games began.

Katakolo sits at the tip of a small cape in the region of Elis, facing the Ionian Sea, with the island of Zakynthos visible on a clear day across the water. The port is a small waterfront of tavernas and cafés along a quay. Pyrgos, the regional town, lies a short way inland, and the coast on either side has long sandy beaches.
