Europe Trip: Glamping by one of the Seven wonders of the Ancient World!!

Day 41: Drive from Porto Rafti Athens to Olympia/Olimpia

Statue of Zeus at Olympia - one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient world :-) That was our next stop after we left Porto Rafti, Athens, and we stayed at a nice Camping.


We passed by the places burned by fires outside Athens earlier this year

Unpacking by the campground

Four shades of light :-)


Day 42: Visited Zeus at Olympia

The Statue of Zeus was mad around the mid-fifth century B.C. The statue graced the temple at Olympia for more than eight centuries before a priests persuaded the Roman emperor to close the temple in the fourth century A.D. The statue was then moved to a temple in Constantinople, where it is believed to have been destroyed in a fire in the year 462.
