I have visited Olympia three times. It's well worth the trip.

One of my most delightful experiences was reading Thucydides' The History of the Peloponnesian War while riding across the Peloponnesian Peninsula from Corinth to Olympia, with stops along the way, including one at the site of Sparta.

Greece is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
