Walk the sacred ground where the Olympic Games were born in 776 BC. A private expert guide brings the ruined temples of Zeus and Hera, the original stadium, and the world-class Archaeological Museum to vivid life — one of antiquity's most moving sites.
What to expect
Your private air-conditioned vehicle collects you at Patras port for the 1.5-hour scenic drive through the Peloponnese hills. At the UNESCO-listed site, your guide narrates 1,000 years of athletic and religious history amid towering fallen columns. The afternoon visit to the on-site museum reveals the breathtaking Hermes of Praxiteles. Return transfer ensures a relaxed arrival back before all-aboard.
Good to know
Full day runs approx. 9–10 hours; depart by 08:30 to allow full museum time. Pre-book private guide directly; museum entry approx. EUR 12 pp additional. Confirm all-aboard time and build in 30-min buffer — Patras to Olympia is ~90 min each way.
