Visiting this site reminded me all I learn in school about Greek mythology... So interesting! Make sure you read about the history and the Greek mythology before you visit this site, so it makes sense to you and you appreciate it more!

This one is the biggest at the VOT but you can walk in and around this huge construction undertaken 2 millinea ago. You have to use a lot of your imagination. Am glad we saw this in October when weather was much more cooperative and less tiring.
Very well preserved. Lorenzo was out personal guide and he was amazing. Spoke very good English, was extremely educated and made the tour very entertaining.
one more temple at Kolimbetra calling for help and restauration.
Beautiful, but in a poor condition. easy access to all people.
The temple is described as one of the biggest ever built, and you get the feeling that it was huge.The recorded information was invaluable in describing what we were looking at.
The Temple of Olympian Zeus is massive, covering an area large enough to contain a football stadium for 42,000 spectators. The enormous Doric temple included seven columns across the front and back and fourteen on each side. It stood on a large rectangular platform with five steps leading to the entrance. Remains of the front steps give a good idea...
