"Olympia, craddle of the Olympic Games" Olympia by SirRichard
Olympia Travel Guide: 182 reviews and 484 photos
I have been looking for thsi destination in VT for days, typed "Olympia" and nothing happened. Until I wrote to "Mardaska" and asked her about it... and finally I found it!
Sacred area from long before the olympic gods ruled the world, Olympia is not only the birthplace of those famous athletic contests, but a very interesting archeological place, as well as an area with wonderful landscapes, mainly in spring.

Maybe we'll get there this year? We'll have missed the cherry blossom but the fruit will be ready!!
Página muy propia para estos días :)))
Hi I never been to Delphi and Olympia before. Great places.
Sounds like some great sporting events have taken place here! I would love to see the birthplace of the Olympics!!
2004: Will you be here?
A "must see" place when you visit Greece. Athens 2004 and ancient Olympia go together.
I'm sorry I missed the cherry trees in bloom. Still I was impressed by the beauty of this place.
