Olympia and Kourouta Beach

Olympia is a must-see, giving you the unforgettable experience of walking (or running) in the original stadium where the Olympic Games came to life in 776 BC. Stroll past the columns still standing in the Temple of Zeus, and admire the ruined altars and treasuries, surrounded by trees said to be planted by Hercules. It’s a beautiful, intriguing sanctuary and the place the Olympic flame is relit every four years.

Kourouta Beach welcomes you with soft sand and sea views that stretch for miles. You’re free to unwind in any way you choose. Swim, sunbathe, hunt for shells or treat yourself to a meal in one of the beachfront tavernas – the perfect opportunity to try a traditional Greek dish.
