ALTERNATIVE THINGS TO DO IN OLYMPIA

Monuments of The Archaeological Site of Olympia with virtual reality glasses and audio guide at Olympia Greece

This sanctuary was dedicated to Zeus, the father of the Gods and became famous for the Ancient Olympic Games. This event was held every four years and it was an attraction for thousands of people from all over Greece. The winner of the Olympic Games used to be treated like God after his victory. The trophy was only an olive wreath but the real award was glory and respect. There are many monuments to see and an interesting story is hiding behind each one. Unfortunately most of them are now ruins and it is difficult to imagine how they used to look like back then. Visit The Archaeological Site of Olympia on an Audio Guided Tour with Virtual Reality Glasses and view every monument reconstructed as they were thousands of years ago.
