K	Kerry Fitzgibbons on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The site is amazing in scope, the signage is well done and gives the visitor context of what is seen. The museum is excellent and well worth the visit.
R	Rebecca Campbell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Must see...the entire area and experience is very special and well laid out with signs and paths. Running on the field is a special experience.
n	nyu yun on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Stadium is the actual place where the athletes competed during the Ancient Olympic Games, starting more than 2700 years ago. Challenge yourself with a long run on the stadium or imagine yourself cheering (gentlemen) or lighting the Olympic flame (ladies). Beware of the heat! Even in early June, the stadium was baking hot, more than 35 degrees Celsius.

E	Ed Murphy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great experience in experiencing the world of ancient Greece. We found the outdoor area to be interesting to see, but we thought the museum offered a more educational and thought provoking experience. On the very warm day that we visited the museum's air conditioning was a welcome respite. The tram from Katakalon was efficient and inexpensive.
R	Rachel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The rest of Olympia is really interesting, and I was really looking forward to seeing the Olympic Stadium. I should have done research before because I was expecting something like the stadium of Delphi, but this one was only grass and a few stones to mark the finish line and edges of the stadium.

K	Klaus Delueg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Those who listen carefully can realize the real Olympic flame, and those who jog around the stadium in August can even feel it. The magic of the place is omnipresent, try to find a day with not too many people to visit this place.
