Itinerario
Olympia is the ancient Greek city renowned for hosting the first Olympic Games in 776 BCE. Located in the western part of the Peloponnese, it was a major religious and cultural hub, dedicated to Zeus. The site features impressive ruins, including the Temple of Zeus, once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Olympia was a symbol of athleticism, unity, and peace, with athletes from across Greece competing in honor of the gods.
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.
The Leonidaion Guesthouse (Ξενώνας Λεωνιδαίον) is an ancient structure located near the Temple of Zeus in Olympia, Greece. Built around the 4th century BCE, it served as a sanctuary for wealthy visitors and athletes attending the ancient Olympic Games. This guesthouse is named after the Spartan king Leonidas, who is believed to have contributed to its construction. The building is an example of the Greek architectural style and was designed to accommodate important guests, providing them with lodging and hospitality. Although much of it is in ruins today, the Leonidaion remains a significant historical site in Olympia.

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.
