Allow me to walk you through the fascinating stories about the Games, the athletes and the preparations & procedures that these followed! On this tour, you'll enjoy a lovely stroll around the ancient site, as I share details about the various sporting events practised here in ancient times, as well as the meaning of the Sacred Truce & the importance of the Games, which were held for almost 12 centuries! The excavations (conducted for over a century) revealed beautiful temples, altars, athletic facilities and of course, the Stadium, where the Olympic Games were held. Our visit will lead us to the Archaeological Museum, which houses all the original findings from these excavations. On a personal note, I have a Master's in Museum Studies and a BA in Archaeology so I'll enjoy discussing the lovely statue of Nike and other exquisite pieces of art which will astonish you, like the famous statue of Hermes, by Praxiteles in the 4th century b. c. (one of the most beautiful ones that survived from ancient times.
