Olympia

We bus out to Olympia watching a super cheesy DVD on the first Olympics. Today’s guide is Ioanna Papakosta. We check out the museum first. There are helmets from the battle of Marathon both Greek and Persian, also the classical sculpture of Hermes. After the museum we tour the grounds of the early Olympics. Archeologists are currently excavating the Hippodrome where horse and chariot races where held.
