Itinerario

1. On this excursion, the venue of the Olympic Games in ancient times and the Sanctuary of Zeus are on the program. It is one of the most famous sights in Greece. See the birthplace of the Olympics, the Temple of Zeus, the stadium, the statue of Hermes of Praxiteles and artifacts in the museum. The most valuable finds are exhibited in the museum. On a model you can understand how the area has gone out in antiquity. This is very worth seeing, since the ancient Olympia was heavily destroyed by both humans and natural disasters.

About Cephalonia

Cephalonia is the largest of the Ionian islands, a mountainous Greek island of white pebble beaches, caves, vineyards and the fir forests of Mount Ainos.

Cephalonia is the largest of the Ionian Islands, off Greece's west coast, a rugged island of limestone mountains, deep bays and olive groves. A strong earthquake in 1953 levelled most of its towns, and many were rebuilt in a plainer style; Fiskardo, in the north, was spared and keeps its Venetian-style houses around a small harbour. Argostoli, the capital, has a long waterfront and a stone causeway bridge across its lagoon.
