Itinerary
Meet us at our local office in Olympia named "Olympia back in time". After a short demonstration, you will visit the Archaeological Site, the place where all the magic will happen!!!
The Temple of Zeus Step inside one of the most legendary temples of Ancient Greece. In this VR experience, you’ll stand before the massive Statue of Zeus — so tall it nearly touched the ceiling. Admire it up close and feel the awe the ancient visitors must have felt. Statues that are now broken or faded come to life, fully restored with color, just as they were 2,000 years ago.
The Ancient Olympic Race Travel back in time and witness a real foot race at the ancient stadium, surrounded by cheering spectators. Watch athletes run with all their strength — and see the winner celebrate at the finish line. It’s a moment full of energy, excitement, and emotion — just like being there.
The Olympic Flame & the Games for Hera Watch the sacred lighting of the Olympic Flame — a powerful ritual that still inspires the world today. Then, discover the ancient Games held for women, in honor of Goddess Hera. A rare and beautiful glimpse into a lesser-known side of Olympia’s history.
Discover 12 more monuments, each with a unique and fascinating story to captivate you!
At the end of your visit meet us again in our office to share your experience with us and drop off the VR glasses. Attention: Returns between 13:30 - 15:00 are not available due to our working schedule. Thank you.
