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.
