It had been ranked as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Olympia is located near the western coast of the Peloponnese peninsula of southern Greece, (16 km) inland from the Ionian Sea, near a point where the Alpheus and Cladeus rivers meet. Set amid an idyllic countryside consisting of low, wooded hills alternating with farmland, the Olympia archaeological site is of outstanding cultural significance. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1989.

Any time of the year is suitable to visit Olympia. However, the archaeological site and natural environment are at their best in spring. From late April to late October, the site and Olympia museum are open daily during the daylight hours so visitors have more time to enjoy the monuments and galleries. From November 1 to March 31, tickets for the site and museums (open from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m.) are half price. The distance from Athens to Olympia is 269 km but the route is outstanding and in the midway there are local restaurants which worth the visit. Our company provides you a high quality private transfer to Ancient Olympia and the local restaurants.
