Ancient Olympia

Explore the remains of the Temple of Zeus and Hera, and stand in the birthplace of the Olympic Games, a pilgrimage for any sports enthusiast.

In their own words: “I started day five by diving into centuries of history with a local specialist walking through the remains of the temple of Zeus and Hera and exploring the museum really puts the sheer scale of ancient Olympia into perspective as a retired professional swimmer standing in the place where the very concept of elite competition was born felt incredibly special it was like a pilgrimage to the roots of everything I worked for in the pool for years.”
