Olympia · the stadium & museum

The site of the original Olympic Games (776 BC to AD 393): the running stadium, the Temple of Zeus, and the workshop where Phidias carved the lost gold-and-ivory Zeus. The museum across the road holds the Hermes of Praxiteles. 3h30 from Athens; on the way back from Costa Navarino, take the inland route.
