The Zappeion Hall was originally constructed to hold the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. This was also the first Olympic village.
The complex is now it's an exhibition hall & hosts many events, galleries & exhibitions. This is also the place where Greece signed her entrance to the European Economic Community , on 29th May 1979.
They were filming a production the front of the building, when we were visiting!

Hi VT 's,
I will be Going to Barcelona for my Stag weekend in late May and was wondering if anyone could give me some info on places to stay and the best area for a group of lads, any help would be appreicated or some links to have a look at.
Thanks for your help....

As it's a stag weekend, I'd say the closer to Las Ramblas the better.
I have to agree Ramblas is the place to stay around. Then head off to Olympic village.
Thanks guys seems like the place to go, still on the look out for hotels that will take a group of lads will keep trying, if anyone nows please drop me a link to the hotel.
Thanks

Modern town of Olympia is well suited to cater to the visitors with some very nice hotels, a lot of restaurants and tourist shops, and some nice beaches within a half hour drive.
The straggling modern village of Olympia is bisected by its one main street, Leoforos Kondili. The town has the usual assortment of tourist shops selling jewelry, T-shirts, and reproductions of ancient pottery and statues, as well as more than a dozen hotels and restaurants.
The ancient site of Olympia is an easily walkable 5-10 minutes south of the modern village.
In 2004 Athens was a capital of the Olympic Games for the second time in modern history. Several competitions took place in Olympia.
In February of 2008 the Olympic Flame was lit and began its travel from Olympia to Beijing. You may see the Olympia Map at my third pic.

Kronion Hill rices just in fron of Ancient Olympia. From there you can enjoy a great view of the ruins and the stadium on Olympia but also of the modern town.
Be there early in the morning and enjoy a magical sunrise, wait until the sun is up and see arround. You'll discover why ancient Greeks considered this a sacred place.

One of the masterpieces of ancient Greek art. Hermes, as Pausanias informs us, is depicted carrying the infant Dionysos.
