What’s the Deal with this Full-Day thing to Ancient Places?

So, basically, you get to go see, like, five seriously old spots in one day. Now, that sounds tiring, maybe even too much, alright, and it is sort of, alright, but you do get a decent glimpse into Ancient Greece. We’re talking about the home of the Olympics – the original Olympics in Olympia – Sparta where those seriously tough warriors lived, and Mycenae, which, by the way, was home to some mega old, super-rich civilization way back when.

First Stop: Ancient Olympia – Where the Games First Started, Like, Seriously.

The starting point is Ancient Olympia. This is not just some, well you know, pile of rocks, okay? This place breathed life into the first games! When you show up here, picture huge crowds gathered all around, cheering athletes on. It makes you wonder what happened way back when, so really take it all in. Think, what did these old games feel like?

Next Up: The Chilling Vibe at Kaiadas, Where?

Kaiadas… it’s got a very, very interesting, or perhaps more accurately, creepy vibe. What is it? It’s like this deep pit where, according to stories that, as a matter of fact, might even be true, the Spartans dumped criminals. Is that totally correct? Well who actually knows, alright? That being said it has very real shadows that sort of darken the area with it’s sort of somber nature and, well you know, the quiet air all around you just sort of gets you wondering about what the stories might actually hold.

Then a Quick Peek at the Temple Dedicated to Apollo – a Very Special Spot?

Apollo had tons of temples dedicated to him, and in that case this is basically another ruin, so too you’ll spot columns standing just proudly against the ravages of weather and such.

Sparta! So What’s Left of Those Legendary Warriors, basically?

Okay, Sparta, okay it has this rep, well you know it should! They were these super intense, always in training, that really went so far as to basically say that weakness in men would simply be erased in their childhoods through constant challenges. So yeah, there’s that to it! Now here you arrive, and you should know you should prepare because the Sparta of today doesn’t even slightly shout ‘warrior kingdom’ so, okay.
