Step back almost 3,000 years into the heart of ancient athletic glory. This sacred site hosted the first Olympic Games in 776 BC, and still today, the Olympic Flame is lit here before every modern Games. Explore the Temple of Zeus, once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and visit the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic Torch begins its journey. Walk through the ancient gymnasium, training grounds of athletes, and the original Olympic stadium—still resonating with the spirit of competition and even reused during the Athens 2004 Olympics. You can even run on the same track as athletes from both ancient and modern times!
