Olympia: Walking in the Footsteps of Champions

Travel to the heart of the Peloponnese and explore Ancient Olympia, the revered sanctuary where the Olympic Games began more than 2,700 years ago. Nestled in the serene valley of the Alpheios River, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is not only a landmark of ancient Greek civilization but a lasting symbol of athletic excellence and cultural unity.

Accompanied by your expert TrueTrips guide, you’ll explore the remains of temples, training grounds, and ceremonial spaces once dedicated to Zeus, king of the gods. Hear the stories behind the monuments that defined a civilization—where athletes competed in honor, not for medals, and where the ideals of fair play and physical prowess were born.

Step onto the ancient track of the original Olympic stadium, still echoing with the legacy of the games. As you walk through the ruins of gymnasiums and bathhouses, your guide will bring to life the rituals, myths, and historical figures that shaped Olympia’s enduring spirit.
