West Greece Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)

Site of Olympia 🗺️

I just got back from visiting the Archaeological Site of Olympia in Greece, and it was absolutely incredible! 🏛️ The entrance fee was around 12 euros, and it's totally worth it for such a rich historical experience. Walking among the ruins where the ancient Olympic Games were held felt surreal. The Temple of Zeus and the ancient stadium were definite highlights. 🏺 The site is well-preserved, and the museum nearby has some fascinating artifacts that bring the history to life. If you have time, visit the charming town of Olympia for some great local food and souvenirs. The nearby Klio's Honey Farm is also a sweet treat! If you love history and culture, this is a must-visit spot. #Olympia #AncientGreece #HistoricWonders #TravelGreece 🏛️🇬🇷 #trip #localguides #familytrip

Archaeological Site of Olympia 🏛️

#timetotravel My pilgrimage to the Archaeological Site of Olympia in Greece was a remarkable step into the cradle of ancient civilization. Nestled in the Peloponnese, this sacred land welcomed me with its historical resonance and iconic ruins. As I walked through the ancient stadium, gazed at the Temple of Hera, and stood before the remains of the Temple of Zeus, a sense of awe and reverence enveloped me. The site's significance as the birthplace of the Olympic Games and its connection to Greek mythology were deeply moving. The Archaeological Site of Olympia's location in the heart of Greece's heritage made it an essential cultural experience. It wasn't just a site; it was a living testament to the legacy of human achievement, inviting me to connect with the echoes of ancient glory and marvel at the enduring power of human imagination.

The sea views that embraced the city.

#2024wish Two years ago, I visited the enchanting city of Patras in Greece, leaving an indelible mark on my memory. The city's charm emanates from its stunning architecture, where neoclassical buildings gracefully blend with modern structures. Wandering through its vibrant streets, I marveled at the juxtaposition of the historical and the contemporary. The highlight was the breathtaking sea views that embraced the city, creating a picturesque backdrop that enhanced every moment. The Aegean Sea's azure hues mirrored the sky, creating a sense of tranquility that enveloped Patras. The friendly locals, the savory aromas of Greek cuisine, and the warm sunsets by the sea made this visit an unforgettable experience, forever etching Patras in my heart. In 2024, I wish to visit Hong Kong.

This mountain village is mainly famous for the magnificent Holy Monastery of Mega Spileo, which is located in a close distance. Around 20-25 km far from Kalavryta, this beautiful village is located right on the banks of Vouraikos River. Much like Kalavryta, the village of Zachlorou gained its freedom in 1821 after the War of Independence and had its men killed by the Germans in December 1943. The village has many unoccupied stone houses, built before the 1950s, which give visitors a glimpse into life of people during those times. Its people are mostly farmers and produce a lot of fruits such as watermelons and figs, vegetables and some dairy products. There is a church, a school and a square in the village. For medical care and other amenities, people have to go to Kalavryta. Staying at this village can be quite comfortable with numerous rooms available for rent. The famous Daikofto-Kalavryta funicular railway makes a stop at this village and this place can also be easily hiked. #mynovgetaway #mynovgetaway
