Pesach 5780 in Olympia, West Peloponnese, Greece

Welcome to Peloponnese

The Peloponnese is a peninsula in southern Greece. It is separated from the central part of Greece by Corinth canal. The Peloponnese is the stuff of legends. Literally. It is here that Hercules fought the Nemean lion and gods walked the earth, meddling in mortal affairs; it's from here that Paris of Troy eloped with Helen and the Argonauts set sail in search of the Golden Fleece.
Celestial and mythological charms aside, this region bears tangible traces of the many civilizations that once called it home, witnessed in its classical temples, Mycenaean palaces, Byzantine cities, and Ottoman, Frankish and Venetian fortresses.

 

Olympia

Olympia is located in the Ilia (Elis) region in the north-west of the Peloponnese Peninsula, dates back to the end of the final Neolithic period (4th millennium BC), and is considered one of the most important places to trace the roots of Western society due to its religious, political, and sports tradition. Olympia was the birthplace of the most famous and important sporting event in the ancient world.
The Olympic Games took place here every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD.
