A pleasant place to be             Me in front of the Philippeion The huge bridge constructed on our way to Olympia and Lambros' village A church built later on the grounds q Tiny village church above Karalis home       Last night at the village, sun setting on the valley   Ruins of ancient Olympia in ths sun A rare glimpse of the world famous Karalis winery (at rear) The monumental entrance arch or "krypte" Leonidaion building, turned into baths in Roman times Map of Olympia sanctuary I prepare myself... Model of Olympia Lambros arrives in his BMW to escort me The Karalis orange groves Leaving the stadium via the monumental entrance One side of the once-covered square Palaestra Circular building by Philip II, 338BC, completed by Alexander the Great. Partially reconstructed. The Philipeon against the sky Southern boundary of the Olympia sanctuary Prepare for glory athletes! The stadium from above and north. Only the judges got stone seats. Village of the Karalis family   The front sculptures from the temple of Zeus The track, 192 x 29 m Leaving Olympia we walk to the nearby Museum Walking down to the entrace to the stadium. Once flanked by statues of cheaters... Village and valley from above. Lambros thinks I take too many photos I'll take that eternal glory now thanks Time for a walk Temple of Zeus - pulled down by the Romans - one pillar reconstructed. I hope you boys are going to clean that mess up! The 12m statue of Zeus as it once was in the temple - made of gold and ivory, oneo f the seven wonders of the ancient world. Destroyed by earthquakes
