Rejseplan
Olympia var fødestedet for den mest berømte og vigtige sportsbegivenhed i den antikke verden. De Olympiske Lege fandt sted her hvert fjerde år fra 776 f.Kr. til 393 e.Kr. Stedet var også et sted for tilbedelse dedikeret til den græske gud Zeus fra omkring det 10. århundrede f.Kr. Her finder du utrolige skulpturer såsom udsmykningen af Zeus tempel, samt den berømte Hermes fra Praxiteles og statuen af Nike af Paionios.
Olympias arkæologiske museum er et af de vigtigste museer i Grækenland. Udstillingen rummer store mesterværker fra de olympiske leges fødebys lange historie og tusinder af års kunst. Udstillingerne vises i kronologisk og tematisk rækkefølge fra forhistorisk og ned til romertiden. Her finder du skulpturerne af Zeus-templet, skulpturen af "Nike of Paionios" og en af de mest berømte statuer i kunsthistorien, "Hermes" af Praxiteles, som måske er den eneste originale, overlevende statue af den berømte billedhugger. Gæsterne behandles med udstillingens talrige bronzegenstande: figurer af mennesker og dyr, gryder, stativer, griffiner, sfinkser og mange forskellige slags våben, fartøjer og udsøgte eksempler på den toreutiske kunst. Endelig er den store samling af terrakotta-statuer – som Zeus- og Ganymedes-komplekset – et højdepunkt under ethvert besøg.
Gå til landsbyen Olympia i nærheden af det arkæologiske område og stadion, og gå en tur rundt i de små traditionelle butikker, traditionelle taverner og kaffebarer.

We went to Olympia. We came in on a cruise ship. When we visited the ruins, our guide was very knowledgable. Then she took us through the musuem and a super fast pace. I was taking picture of the signs and then objects, so later I could read about it. I felt like both at the ruins and museum we did not have enough time. There were ruins we missed. Then we left the ruins and arrived at the little town. We were given 30-45 minutes to shop! I'd much rather had that time in the museum. I felt like it was a race. If you really want to see the ruins, get a taxi and then get a guide on site, if that's possible. If not pick a longer time at the ruins.
This was such a wonderful experience. We traveled with a small group of 10. Both our pick up guide and history guide were so knowlegable. We walked slowly through both the Olympia ruins and the museum with the guide teaching and explaining. She answered all our questions and gave us the best tour our brains could handle.
A fabulous tour, well organised, informative and enjoyable. The history of the Olympic games is fascinating and a real joy. Recommended 100%.
I was surprised we were asked to pay $5 for the earphones which are normally included with all other tours.
Dear Guest Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that the whisper devices/earphones are clearly mentioned in the tour inclusions as an optional extra service at an additional charge of 5 EUR per person. Guests have the possibility to request them during the reservation process if they wish to use them during the guided tour. We always try to keep our pricing transparent and communicate all optional services clearly in advance in order to avoid misunderstandings. We nevertheless appreciate your comment and hope you enjoyed the rest of your experience with us. Kind Regards
The archeological museum had so many interesting artifacts and to visit the spot where the Olympics first began was amazing. Our guides were great with their narratives and the highlight was to stand on the slab of marble which was the starting line for Olympian racers 3000 years ago!
This was an excellent trip both our guide external to the site and our guide in the site were good. The guide in the site was exceptional she gave us context first which really helped us understand the importance of the site . The museum was not to be missed we were lucky it was very quiet and again our guide was so informative. We were a small group if you are on a cruise ship don’t bother paying a fortune for a trip with loads of people . It is only 30 minutes away from the port and we got back in plenty of time
Although this was a small group tour, around 20 people the operator chose not to have available ear phones. It was impossible to hear the guide, who was very good, but after awhile you just walked around and looked. Several people spoke to the representative and while she apologized, her excuses really didn’t hold water. I really believe it was an issue that they didn’t have enough earpieces so they gave it to the larger groups.
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about our guide and are sorry to hear that you experienced difficulty hearing at certain points during the tour. Because this was a small-group experience (around 20 guests), we intentionally chose not to use headsets, as we aim to maintain a more personal and interactive connection between our guide and participants. This format usually allows for questions, conversation, and a more relaxed atmosphere. However, we completely understand that in some open or busy areas, background noise can make it harder to hear clearly—especially for guests who may stand a bit further from the guide. We’ll review this feedback carefully and consider offering optional headsets for similar situations in the future to ensure everyone can fully enjoy the commentary. We truly appreciate your understanding and your helpful remarks, which allow us to keep improving our guests’ experience.
Most exceptional experience. The tour guide Christo was pleasant knowledgeable and informative. Everything worked well picking us up at the port as we were on a cruise. The town of Olympia was lovely and relaxing The tour of the Olympic site was great! If I could give 5 stars I would!
A great experience! It was so helpful to have a guide that was an archeologist to explain the history and put things in context as we visited. We really got a lot out of our visit, more so than we would have with out a guide.
Antonia and Arestaya made a great partnership for this guided tour through the ancient ruins. It was a special treat to get the historical contexts of the archaeological site of the original Olympics. The museum was amazingly appropriate in that it was not overwhelming. It solidified the what we had witnessed at the archaeological site with the original figures that once stood on the grounds. It was a beautiful experience. I’d recommend this tour!
