You step from the shaded door of an air-conditioned van into a strip of sunlit marble and dust—the ruins of Ancient Olympia spread across a low plain, olive groves breathing in the heat. Your guide leads you along worn stone, where the stadium still holds the ghost of a race and the Temple of Zeus keeps watch over a landscape shaped by rivers and human hands.
