What to expect

Your private driver and air-conditioned vehicle will meet you at the port for the approximately 1 hour and 10-minute journey to Olympia. Upon arrival, you will embark on a 2.5-hour guided exploration of the archaeological site, visiting the Temple of Zeus, Temple of Hera, Altar of Hera, Stadium, Gymnasium, Palaestra, Treasury Houses, and the Council House where athletes once swore the Olympic oath. Following the site tour, you will walk to the Archaeological Museum of Olympia to admire a world-class collection of Greek sculpture and artifacts, including the Hermes of Praxiteles, Winged Nike, and the pediments of the Temple of Zeus, while feeling the energy emanating from these ancient treasures. After the museum visit, you will have free time in the modern town of Olympia to shop, enjoy a coffee, or simply relax. Finally, you will choose an athletic activity—such as a private yoga session, jogging or race walking, cycling, or a superfood wellness experience—to complete your retreat and leave feeling revitalized and inspired. Outdoor portions of the tour require sun protection, comfortable clothing, and appropriate footwear.
