Ancient Olympia & the Forest of Foloi – Where Myth Meets History
Journey through the mythical forest of the Centaurs and the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
The experience
Our journey to Ancient Olympia begins as we pass through the Foloi Oak Forest, a landscape steeped in Greek mythology and traditionally associated with the mythical forest of the Centaurs.
We then arrive at Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games and one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. Walking through the ancient sanctuary, you will discover the Temple of Zeus, the Temple of Hera, the ancient Stadium, and the remains of the sacred Altis — the heart of the ancient Olympic world.
For anyone fascinated by history, mythology, and the achievements of ancient Greece, Olympia offers something truly special: the chance to walk through the very place where the Olympic ideal was born.
