One of the most important sanctuaries of antiquity, dedicated to the father of the Gods, Olympian Zeus. Olympia is the birthplace of the Olympic Games. The area, of great natural beauty, has been inhabited uninterruptedly since the 3rd millenium B.C. and in the late Mycenaean period it became a religious center. Excavations started by German archaeologists and the research is being continued to this day by the German Institute of Archaeology in Athens and the Ephorate of Antiquities in Olympia.
