It is incredible that this beautifully carved statue has survived the centuries and we can gaze on it today. It was carved during the Classical period of Greek sculpture in the 4th century B.C. Hermes is holding the baby Dionysus and it is a work of true beauty.

The Kalavryta Municipal Museum is devoted solely to the massacre of innocent civilians by the German Wehrmacht which took place not only in Kalavryta but also the entire region during December 1943. Entire villages were attacked and destroyed and males over 12 years of age gunned down in an attempt to destroy the resistance movement in the Peloponeese. The Museum explains it all in graphic detail and the last room one visits contains the photographs of all the known victims and the small number of survivors of whom only 3 are believed to be alive in the world today. There is also a video archive which details the lives of those who were executed and those who survived. The Museum details the sites of the memorials which exist in the area in local villages and communities and these are well worth a visit if you want to get an idea of the true scale and enormity of what took place.

On my farm in Ancient Olympia, from which my grandparents made their living, and today is the basis of my own agricultural activities, you'll enjoy Greek hospitality. You will walk into our cool garden with trees and vegetables. I will guide you through my private collection, where I'll show you the secrets of honey production and other agricultural products from both past and present. Finally you will taste the products of my little farm and traditional sweets with honey from my bees, which with the help of my mother, will be prepared in front of you. Klio the beekeeper

Learned a lot about bees, honey making and greek tradition. Klio welcomed us as family and fed us delicious treats, and even had something special for me (being gluten intolerant). A must-do on every trip to Olympia!

This is a memorial to the men who were killed by the Nazi's during WWII. All of the men over 12 were marched out to the hillside and shot. Don't miss the museum in the center of town which is dedicated to this event.

Words cannot describe the feeling someone will have when walking in these sacred ancient places and visiting the museum. The Olympics have shaped the world‘s athletic and cultural heritage and I definately recommend to visit this place. Be sure to wear confirtable shoes and bring some water during the summer time because of the temperatures. I would recommend a visit during spring time when the trees and flowers blossom.
