I'm Natalia Stroppiana, an archaeologist, PhD candidate, and proud tour guide based in ancient Olympia, a place that captured my heart from the moment I set foot on its storied grounds. Being half Greek and half Italian, I come from a background steeped in rich history, making the choice to pursue archaeology a no-brainer. The deep, intertwined histories of both Greece and Italy have always inspired me, fueling my passion for archaeology and the desire to share its wonders with everyone. Fluent in English, Italian, and Greek, I merge academic insight with local lore to bring history to life. I adore Olympia for its timeless echoes of myth and legend, its breathtaking ruins that whisper secrets of ancient athletic glory, and the inspiring energy that turns every stone into a storyteller. As a specialized archaeologist, PhD candidate, and certified guide, I offer a unique and immersive experience enriched by insights that only someone working directly in the field can provide. Thanks to my ongoing research, I will help you discover unique details and fascinating stories behind the scenes. Every building, every object has a story to tell, and I will be by your side to reveal the secrets that still captivate scholars and visitors from around the world!

Let’s explore Olympia together, uncover its treasures, and create unforgettable memories! Shall we begin?

Overview of your Olympia tour

Are you ready to walk in the footsteps of ancient athletes? Join me for an unforgettable guided tour of the Archaeological Site of Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games and one of the most iconic sanctuaries of the ancient world. As a local archaeologist and licensed guide, I will bring to life the stories, myths, and history of this sacred place. Wander among the ruins of temples, altars, and public buildings that once formed the sanctuary of Zeus. Admire the remains of the Temple of Zeus, which housed one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and visit the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic flame is still lit today. Feel the vibrant energy of the original Olympic Stadium, where you can even run on the ancient track—the winner will receive an olive wreath, just like the ancient champions. This is more than a tour. It’s a journey through time, a reflection on the enduring pursuit of greatness that connects us all with the past, inspiring us to shape a brighter future.
