I had a lot of fun climbing the statue and jumping off the statue into the spear at the bottom I still live with a hole in my chest. BUT STILL AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Place to see.

A unique doric style temple that hosts the ceremony of the lighting of the Olympic torch nowadays! A must visit if you are in the area or yup are on a cruise and you stop at Katalin port. Use The Travel Insiders as your local tour operator, to show you around.

Olimpia (Ολυμπία) is the most famous place of Zeus worship in ancient Greece. At the foot of the hill, Panhellian Olympics dedicated to Zeus, called from this site Olympic, took place every 4 years. The first recorded Olympic Games took place in 776 BC. From the seventh century BC huge buildings were built here. The most important of them, Temple of Zeus was completed in about 456 BC. In addition, there were a number of other buildings, including the temple of Hera. Sports facilities were created around the sanctuary, including Olympic stadium. On the ruins of the ancient temple of Hera is lit the Olympic torch before every modern Olympic games. - Olimpia (gr. Ολυμπία) w starożytności była najsławniejszym miejscem kultu Zeusa. U stóp wzgórza co 4 lata odbywały się panhelleńskie igrzyska poświęcone Zeusowi, zwane od tego miejsca olimpijskimi. Pierwsze odnotowane igrzyska olimpijskie odbyły się w 776 p.n.e. Od VII w. p.n.e. zaczęto wznosić tutaj potężne budowle. Najważniejszą z nich była ukończona w ok. 456 p.n.e. świątynia Zeusa. Oprócz tego znajdował się tam szereg innych budowli, między innymi świątynia Hery. Wokół sanktuarium powstawały obiekty sportowe, m.in. stadion olimpijski. Tutaj jest zapalany znicz olimpijski przed każdą nowożytną olimpiadą.

You might recognize this area from when the Olympic fire is getting lit.
