Activity Description

"Pedal Through the Legacy of Olympia's Ancient Champions"

Journey back in time and trace the paths of legendary champions with this immersive 15.3 km bike tour through the historic grounds of Ancient Olympia. Unearth the tales and treasures of a bygone era as you cycle through captivating landscapes, brimming with stories of deities, athletes, and the origins of the Olympic spirit.

Tour Highlights:

  • Distance: 15.3 km
  • Duration: Approximately 2 to 2.5 hours
  • Elevation Gain: 259m positive altitude
  • Starting Point: Olympia village
  • Difficulty Level: Easy
  • Price: 45 euros per person
  • Transportation: Available upon request

Commence your cycling adventure alongside the river Kladeos, historically revered as a deity. This river once defined the western boundaries of "Altis". As you ride, catch glimpses of ancient protective walls that shielded Olympia from river overflows.

Navigate through serene olive groves, leading you to the river “Alphios”. As legend has it, this was the favored river of the god "Zeus", nurturing Ancient Olympia's lands with its waters.

Relive the thrill of ancient sports as you approach the “Hippodrome” of Ancient Olympia, the iconic venue for horse races. Discover the Olympic Academy's grounds, pay respects at the memorial of Pierre de Coubertin, the visionary behind the modern Olympic Games, and marvel at the recently unearthed temple of Demetras “Hamynis”.

The journey continues towards the Ancient Stadium, but through a lesser-known path, unveiling the temple of Eilithia, nestled within a botanical garden. Conclude your tour with a visit to the “Galani” hill, once a significant part of the route connecting Ancient “Ilida” and Olympia. A downhill stretch then brings you back to the heart of Olympia village.
