Olympia - greek island style ancient sanctuary

Continuing on with my tour of Ancient Greek sites, Olympia is situated 120km north-west of Archaea and is famous for the Temple of Hera as well as the historic Agio Pantelimon church built in 1200AD out of ruins left on the site from the destruction of an ancient temple and treasury house by the invading Turks.
Today, the area is popular with tourists as the secluded beach offers clean and warm waters to enjoy in the summer and tourist accommodation is located just 3 kilometers away in the town of Naxi.
