Visit to Olympia!

In Portugal it is the April 25th celebration day. However, in Greece, we had different plans. We went to see Olympia, the famous city where the Olympic Games were created and first established.


We visited Olympia's Archaelogical Museum, which has a lot of objects, pieces and statues from that age. It was probably one of the best museums I have ever been too. The tour guide explanations were very interesting and people were also interested in hearing them. We went inside the museum and outside to the fields. Everyone took a lot of photos because everything was magnificent.


I personaly bought three postcards and one olympic coin. Then, we went to the olympic stadium and every country had to have two participants: one boy and one girl. We both had to run against Greece, France, Poland and Turkey. After the race, we were given an olive made coronary and everybody was clapping. At 2 pm, we all went to Katakolo to have lunch and by some souvenirs. It was a great day!
