Megara
Travel Guide
![Olympia (Greek: Ὀλυμπία; Ancient Greek: [ˈolympia]; Modern Greek: [ˈolibia] Olympía), a sanctuary of ancient Greece in Elis on the Peloponnese peninsula, is known for having been the site of the Olympic Games in classical times.
The Olympic Games were held every four years throughout Classical Antiquity, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. The first Olympic Games were in honor of Zeus.
The Olympic Games (Greek: Ολυμπιακοί αγώνες , "Olympiakoi Agones") were a series of athletic competitions among representatives of city-states and one of the Panhellenic Games of Ancient Greece. They were held in honor of Zeus, and the Greeks gave them a mythological origin. Historical records indicate that they began in 950-776 BC in Olympia. They continued to be celebrated when Greece came under Roman rule, until the emperor Theodosius I suppressed them in 394 AD as part of the campaign to impose Christianity as the state religion of Rome. The games were held every four years, or olympiad, which became a unit of time in historical chronologies.

This was such a great location. We walked around the acropolis park and enjoyed the local cafes and restaurants very much. I wouldn't want to stay in any other part of the city. Our room was a double; quite small but very affordable for the location.

6.4/10 (5 reviews)
This Pame location is in a very bad and rundown part of Athens. The streets felt very unsafe at night and the room did not look like the booking picture. I thought it would be bigger. The inside of the room was decent, but I would not recommend based on it's location.
