Fascinating site of the first Olympic Games, September 12, 2010
Reviewer: Doug62
Pros: Fascinating place to explore on your own or with a guide
Cons: Too many tourists make the place overcrowded
If you like history you'll really enjoy Olympia. Have a guidebook or get a guide to help bring the site to life. Except for a few areas, you can walk among the ruins which I found made the visit much more enjoyable. Visit the museum to see the statues that have been salvaged and to see a scale model of the site. Olympia is easy to get to by train from the port, or rent a car (40 Euro for the day) and then use the car to explore other parts of the area. I think Olympia is well worth the visit!
