Know Before You Go

This tour is a must-do for athletes and all those who love the Olympics.

The majority of the antiquities in the Museum of Olympia comes from the excavations of the surrounding area. The most valuables items are the statues of Nike Paionios and Hermes of Praxiteles.

The ancient Olympic Games were the most important sports event in the Greek world. According to mythology, it was Hercules who established the games to celebrate the success of his 12 labours. The sports were organized in Olympia which was the most important temple in honour of the king of the gods, Zeus. The games were organized from 776 BC every four years. Before the start of the games, religious rituals took place to honour the gods. The participants were sworn in front of a statue of Zeus to keep the rules and the laws. All over the known world, heralds were sent to inform humanity of the games. During the period of the games, all the armed fights were forbidden to keep safe those travelling to and from Olympia.

The Olympic Games were continued until the first Christian years. In the 19th century, there was an idea to restart the tradition of the Olympic Games from a new perspective. For that purpose, Pierre De Coubertin, a French baron, organized a conference in Paris. In that meeting, the International Committee was created. In the ancient era, all the participants in the games achieved rewards and in modern events followed the same tradition. The combination of culture and athleticism is what makes the Olympic Games unique until now. Pierre de Coubertin died in 1938, and his heart was buried in the land of Ancient Olympia.
