This visit gives deeper meaning to what you saw at the archaeological site and helps you understand the artistic, religious, and cultural importance of Olympia.
After exploring the ancient site and museum, enjoy free time in the charming village of Olympia.
You may stroll through the village streets, browse local shops, enjoy a coffee, or simply relax and soak up the atmosphere of this historic destination.
This is a pleasant break in the day and a chance to enjoy Olympia at your own pace.
Next, visit the Smili Art Workshop, a unique local workshop where the ancient art of sculpture continues today.
Meet skilled local artisans and see how traditional techniques are used to transform marble and stone into works of art inspired by ancient Greece.
