Welcome to the sanctuary of the Olympic Games, located in Ancient Ilida, near Ancient Olympia. Situated in the North Peloponnese, close to the modern-day village of Elis (also known as Elia or Ilia), the ancient city of Elis was renowned for breeding horses used in the Olympic Games and exercising control over the Games. Although the current ruins may not fully represent the grandeur of the city that once stood here, it is believed that there is still much to be discovered beneath the surface.
This unforgettable tour will introduce you to the warmth of Greek hospitality, and as you explore the ancient ruins, you will have the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea. During your visit, you'll also have the chance to taste traditional Greek appetizers and experience a Greek meze dinner—a must-try culinary delight in Greece. To further immerse yourself in the local flavors, you'll be treated to Iliako wine and fresh fruits native to the region.
Adding to the excitement, you'll have the unique opportunity to participate in athletic sports from the Ancient Olympic Games, including disc throwing, ball throwing, and long jump. Join us for a truly memorable experience as you delve into the rich history and culture of Ancient Ilida and Olympia.
