Hermes by Praxiteles

Reviewed By GwensGramma - Durham, United States

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.

Klio's Honey Farm

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

Reviewed By rosalies869 - Utrecht, The Netherlands

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!
