Latest Olympia hotel reviews
In the Stadium at ancient Olympia, you have to enjoy the experience and take advantage of the moment - line up on the track that was used by some of the greatest athletes of the ancient world and race someone.
Equipment: Many athletes in the ancient games competed naked, but please don't get too into the spirit. Keep the clothes ON. If you want to go barefoot, then its up to you.
