Jan 19, 2009 This is an amazing place. We arrived on a cruise and took the bus tour, but a few of our friends rented a moped and still made it there. It was about a 20-30 minute drive by bus. The ruins are just outside a small town with all the touristy shops you can throw a stick at. The ruins themselves are amazing. Lots to see and learn about. I strongly recommend either bringing a book or hiring a guide as you will otherwise be walking though a pile of rocks, without understanding what they were supposed to be and the cool stories behind them. The temple of Zeus and the race trck were my favorite areas. Dec 11, 2008 The ancient theatre with the great acoustics is the most prominent monument, as only ruins to the ground were left from the site of the ancient Olympic Games. Worth a visit if you are into ancient monuments and sites. Jul 28, 2009 The site of the original Olympics. The ruins are amazing to see and photograph. The history is impressive! You can even run on the original field. Related Links
