Katakolon, Greece (where the original Olympic Games were held) November 6, 2010
Katakolon is the gateway to Olympia, the original site of the Olympic Games. Of all the ruins we saw these were the most "rustic". The Olympic Games were held every four years and started in 776 BC and ended in 393 AD. What history!! We were able to see where they Olympians competed. They did this naked...just a little bit of history!
