Upon arrival to Ancient Olympia you wander at the Philipio remains, the only round building of the Greek ancient times, the grandiose Temple of Zeus where the gigantic Zeus statue stood for 800 years, walk through a round gate like an ancient athlete and enter the Olympic Stadium, see up close Phidias workshop and admire unique masterpieces of ancient art such as Hermes of Praxitelis at the on-spot Museum.

Corinth Canal

We leave Athens by crossing the highway to Corinth. The Isthmus of Corinth is a narrow strip of land that connects mainland Greece to Peloponnese, while the canal drilled across it connects the Saronic with the Corinthian Gulf, thus connecting the Aegean Sea with the Ionian Sea. The length of of the Isthmus is about 6 kilometers and the narrowest point is where the Corinth Canal has been drilled (1880 to 1893).
