🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 Olympia, Greece - June 1, 2026

​Today, it’s off to Olympia. My first official tour. Ear phones in, backpack adjusted, camera ready ….


Pillar and part of the original site where the first Olympic Games began. UNESCO World Heritage Site and archaeological site and of major historical significance to Greece. The Olympic flame is first ignited every two years for the Summer or Winter Olympics.




Actual area where the flame is ignited is right in front of our tour guide white white hat and top


 Baby olives … harvested in November/December 


Local wildflowers 


Where the athletes walked


And only one competing today


Chaffinch ( yes used a little AI to clear the branches and enhance )


Brief stop in the town of Olympus for souvenirs…


End of a fine day
