Excursion: Olympia - the place of lighting the Olympic flame (12 hours)

After leaving Athens early in the morning, in 55 minutes we will make a short stop at the Corinth Canal with a length of 6400 meters, which connects the two seas, the Aegean and Ionian, then go to the place where the modern Olympic Games were born, Olympia, which is located between the rivers Cladel and Aloreus. This place is enchanting, thanks to its natural beauty and the sense of calm that arises when you are there. It was here in ancient times that the Olympic Games were held in honor of the supreme Greek god Zeus.

The revival of the modern Olympic Games took place in 1886, and since then, every four years on the altar of the goddess Hera with the help of sunlight, a fire is lit and relayed to the country that holds the next Olympic Games. We will be able to visit the place where the process of lighting the fire takes place, and we will be able to look at the Olympic sacred stadium, which is the most important historical and cultural museum, which contains finds from the time of Olympia in ancient times.

The price includes a guide in Russian and transport "Mercedes". Entrance tickets to the museum and the stadium in Olympia are not included.
