The Archaeological Site of Olympia is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southern Greece. Home to the ancient Olympics, the games ran for over a thousand years before finally ending during the 4th century AD. This was a fascinating place to wander around, think about what it must have been like during competitions, and ponder how similar the ancient Olympics must have been to our own modern versions.
