Our last stop in Greece was Olympia home of the ancient olympics. The day was crazy hot, thankfully the tour guide did most of the talking in the shade. There was the outdoor archeological site and a modern museum with Greek and Roman statues that were from the site. After that tour we went to an olive farm. A tour of how the farm produced olive oil followed by a lunch of all local ingredients.
The Temple of Zeus one column has been put back together.

Stadium for races at olympia. Too hot to go for a run when we were there.
This is the spot where the torch for the Olympics is lit.

ReplyDeleteI was surprised no eternal flame. For each Olympics they start the flame with the sun.
