2. The Temple of Zeus Step inside one of the most legendary temples of Ancient Greece. In this VR experience, you’ll stand before the massive Statue of Zeus — so tall it nearly touched the ceiling.

Watch athletes run with all their strength — and see the winner celebrate at the finish line. It’s a moment full of energy, excitement, and emotion — just like being there.

• 5Makes the Olympia visit much more lively and interesting

  We booked the VR glasses for our visit to Olympia and it was really great. We could imagine much better how the place looked like earlier. I highly recommend it.

• 5This experience gives you...

  This experience gives you a real idea of what the ruins used to look like - it was well worth it. It added a lot to a self-paced tour without a guide. Highly recommend.

• 5a must do when visiting the archeological site of Olympia

  We booked directly on their website olympia back in time, 20 euro per glasses, we booked to for our 2 kids and shared. (Glasses are to be used for the archeological site, not for the historical museum). This worked perfectly but it took longer so we missed time for the museum which was totally OK for us. The VR glasses made the place become alive, audio guide with some funfacts included. Definitely recommended and the price totally worth it! would do it again! do the pick up of the glasses first, park just in front of the store and from there a 2 drive to the parking lot, from there a 3-5 min walk to the archeological site (tickets 20 euro, kids are free)

• 5A must if going to ruins.

  I would say this is a must if you are going to the ruins. There is not a lot left of the ruins, so this really gave you an idea of what things looked like. There are stations that give you information, but the audio the glasses give you, I think is better.

About Olympia

Olympia is a quiet village in the western Peloponnese, grown around the ancient sanctuary of Zeus where the first Olympic Games were held.

Olympia lies in a green valley where the rivers Alfeios and Kladeos meet, in the western Peloponnese. For well over a thousand years, beginning in the eighth century BC, the sanctuary hosted games in honour of Zeus every four years. The ruins include the Temple of Zeus, once home to a gold-and-ivory statue of the god by Phidias, famed across the classical world; the Temple of Hera; and the original stadium, entered through a vaulted tunnel.
