This site allows you to discover the remains of the colossal temple of Zeus Olympian: 15 erected columns that are still very impressive. It must be said that the Olympiion was the largest temple ever built in Greece! Begun by Pisistrate in the 6th century BC, it was completed 600 years later by Emperor Hadrian before being destroyed by the Barbarians. The setting sun bathed the surviving columns in a magnificent golden hue, and we can understand this stylite hermit who, in the 17th century, chose the top of one of them to install his cabin!

Très beau site. Il ne reste qu'une petite partie du Temple de Zeus, mais la visite vaut le détour. Parc agréable, avec vue sur l'Acropole.
Le site est encadré par des oliviers. Le tout rend le site superbe
