Peloponnese Days 2-3: Ancient Olympia

We spent three days in Ancient Olympia, and I can now say that I feel I know the site very well (if it's possible to say that after such a short time). But we had the best possible guide and I took mountains of notes! Also mountains of photos but I'm only putting a few of them here. Starting with the fun ones of course:

Someone must have said something funny to Maria...


Maybe it was Jackie O -- I mean Katerina?

The entrance to the Stadium at Olympia.


In front of the cheezy bronze Nike monument in the town of Ancient Olympia.

No disrespect intended to Zeus of course.


The palaistra at Olympia.
