Olympia (Greek: Ὀλυμπία; Ancient Greek: [ˈolympia]; Modern Greek: [ˈolibia] Olympía), a sanctuary of ancient Greece in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula, is known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times.

The Olympic Games were held every four years throughout Classical Antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. The first Olympic Games were in honor of Zeus.

The Olympic Games (Greek: Ολυμπιακοί αγώνες , "Olympiakoi Agones") were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of city-states and one of the Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece. They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythological origin. Historical records indicate that they began in 950-776 BC in Olympia. They continued to be celebrated when Greece came under Roman rule, until the emperor Theodosius I suppressed them in 394 AD as part of the campaign to impose Christianity as the state religion of Rome. The games were held every four years, or olympiad, which became a unit of time in historical chronologies.

"Very Clean Rooms "

Avant Blue Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Big room, gulf views. Pool looked amazing (though I didn’t swim). Bed was comfortable. Large buffet breakfast. Staff was very friendly. The neighborhood around the hotel is so-so, but you are along the beach esplanade, which makes for a lovely walk. You are 15 minutes by car to several interesting historical sites."

Ephira Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Above all, I would like to thank the staff of the hotel for the excellent care and service provided during our stay. My wife fell and broke her leg while we were on holiday and they could not have been more helpful and they did so with sincere concern for her, providing a wheelchair and walker as well as the usual hotel services. A special thanks to Helena for being wonderful. The hotel location is great for the town and only a short walk to the beach. It was very clean throughout and the bed was comfortable. The lift was one of the better ones we found during our journey in Greece. "
