Exploring an emblematic corner of Greece, a place where the present meets the past; the beautiful coastline, the lush forests, the fertile valleys, and the steep slopes enhance the reputation of a region that is both diverse and rich. Ancient Olympia, Ancient Elis and the temple of Apollo Epicurius make an ideal autumn and spring destination.

Ancient Olympia – Ancient Elis
Visit to see the playfulness hidden in the great sculpture of Hermes of Praxiteles, to confront perfection in the Temple of Zeus, the quintessential example of Doric temple architecture, to walk the paths that philosophers, artists, and politicians trod, to rest on the slopes of the Stadium of Ancient Olympia. Come to feel the sense that this is where the counting of time began and where the human mind grasped the concept of agreement.
