Do have a travel guide with you. The places to see are many and if you don't read as you walk there, you just can't understand :) An amazing place with energy all around.

Birthplace of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games were held every four years throughout Classical Antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Make sure you visit the Ancient Stadium.
