While it's the largest temple in Athens, the remains are scattered and with no clear historical tidbits. While we were there, half of the columns were under maintenance and cannot be seen. The place bears huge significance and there is great potential for it to be one of the top tourist destinations but requires some work which is still ongoing.

On the way from the grave of the unknown soldier to the Plaka you'll likely run into the grand ruins of the Temple of the Olympian Zeus. The remains of the temple are fairly spectacular, not too crowded, and the tickets are reasonable. You can get close enough to the columns though you are not allowed to wander around them, which is too bad... It is above all an excellent spot for photos, I do wish there was more explanation about the sight though.

We went here as recommended by our tour guide at the Acropolis as it is part of the entry ticket we bought. It is under renovation, which is amazing in the long run, but was a bummer for us as we couldn’t see much. You can see just a few columns but most are covered in scaffolding. It is a large area with some grass you can walk around.

It’s free to walk around these historical grounds. Was nice to stop by for a walk and see the ruins of this temple. Would definitely recommend checking it out.

You can walk to the nearby Hadrian's Arch for free and get a view through the fence which lets you see most of the site. A large part is under scaffolding and there were very few information boards to explain what you were looking at. I certainly wouldn't recommend buying a single ticket just for this site. We only went in because it was covered with the slightly more expensive Acropolis ticket. We were there for about 15 minutes.

It is really unfortunate that the attraction is mainly covered with scaffolding currently, ruining (pun intended) the sights. It will probably look much better once maintenance is over. Nevertheless, it is quite a towering structure, and worth visiting if you are in Athens ruins with the €30 combo pass. The Hadrian’s Arch and the Panathenaic Stadium are nearby too, so be sure to visit them.

This Temple does not have much left as earthquakes destroyed most of the columns over the ages. If you purchase an individual ticket it is 8 euros, therefore it is much better to purchase a package ticket that also includes the acropolis. You can also view the temple from Hadrians gate which is directly outside.

It's good. But I would not go out of my way to see it. Views from outside the gates are just as good as views from inside. Check it out if you're in the area. Don't feel bad if you missed it

What can I say! Obviously if you are into ancient Greek history a thrill. If you have an vague interest worth a visit. If neither go have a look from the outside. 8 euros per person entry. You decide !

Buy tickets in advance, and if you're short on time, concentrate on the other sites. This one was probably great at some point, but now it's just a few giant colums and restoration works. I'd rather have it restored to it's former glory than walk in an empty area with nothing to see or do :/ But if you have time, you can visit it while going to the biggest park in Athens.

One of the world's must sees. Been here years ago and it's great to see many people. Make sure that you venture into the side streets and check out the many "many" cafe's and shops too. Brimming with atmosphere

An amazing place for history and mythology lovers. But most of it is now in the process of restoration and much is not visible. But, I understand that in order to preserve such a valuable temple, this work is necessary.

Not as popular as Acropolis of course. This temple has a very interesting history. I suggest you read about it first before coming to visit. There’s an incredible view of the Acropolis from this archaeological site.

This is probably a really nice place to walk round when there isn't loads of construction going on. At the moment most of the columns are covered with scaffolding which didn't make for exciting viewing. I'm sure it's more than necessary but until the columns are restored it's probably not worth the entry fee.

A must stop in Athens. You can see the ruins of Temple of Olympian. There is a small coffee shop at the entrance. You'll take about 10-15 min to walk around. The visit would be better if the place would include more historical explanation about what is there.

The site is surrounded by some main roads and is located within few minutes of walking distance from the very famous Acropolis site. One cost effective approach is to purchase a combo ticket for multiple sites that includes the Temple of Olympian Zeus. From the outside of the site, you can already see the giant columns and ruins standing up. Once you've entered the site, you can walk a bit and also find a bench to sit down and watch the ruins. Plenty empty space at the site, and from within you can see the Acropolis site from far.

This is a very basic archaeological site. It is currently completely covered with scaffolding. There is some information dotted around the site but not a huge amount. You could probably do the side in 15-20 minutes

Not much to see since most of it has been destroyed. More than half of the columns were covered in scaffolding when I got there. The rest was a bunch of ruins. Scattered here and there. Still, not much to see. It's very sad.

Spectacular but busy (very busy) and whilst the trek to it isn't particularly difficult in itself, it is made so by the crowds and sketchy marble flagstones which are quite polished. Don't expect to get a view without hundreds of other tourists around you ?

This place is definitely worth a visit. Good priced tickets, friendly and helpful staff, and very close to the park and other areas.

(Translated by Google) It is an important ancient temple in the center of Athens. Although its construction began in the 6th century BC, it was not completed until the Roman emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. It was the largest church in Greece during the Hellenistic and Roman times. the foundations of the first temple in the area, was built by the tyrant of Athens Peisistratos in 515 BC. but the work stopped. The temple was finally completed in 129 AD. by the emperor Hadrian, who was a great admirer of Greek culture. Today the church is an open-air museum, part of the unification of archaeological sites in Athens. As a historical site it is protected and supervised by the Ephorate of Antiquities.

Αποτέλεσε τον μεγαλύτερο ναό της Ελλάδας κατά τους Ελληνιστικούς και Ρωμαϊκούς χρόνους. τα θεμέλια του πρώτου ναού στο χώρο, είχε κτίσει ο τύραννος των Αθηνών Πεισίστρατος το 515 π.Χ. αλλά οι εργασίες σταμάτησαν. Ο ναός ολοκληρώθηκε τελικά το 129 μ.Χ. από τον αυτοκράτορα Αδριανό, που ήταν μεγάλος θαυμαστής του ελληνικού πολιτισμού. Σήμερα ο ναός αποτελεί υπαίθριο επισκέψιμο μουσείο, μέρος της ενοποίησης αρχαιολογικών χώρων της Αθήνας. Ως ιστορικός χώρος προστατεύεται και επιβλέπεται από την Εφορεία αρχαιοτήτων.

This place is stunning.. great day out and definitely worth visiting.. definitely worth taking a guide for as there is so much information you will miss if you didn't

One of the best kept historical places on Athens! A must see and it's literally 3 minutes walking distance from Acrópolis

Very cool archeological site even with the temple covered in scaffolding. No wait on a Friday morning, 8 euro entrance fee.

If you’ve got the 30 Euro ticket, go and see it. While under renovation, there isn’t much to see and it’s not the most impressive of the sites in Athens. Still really cool, and it will be great once it’s restored.

This is one of 7 archaeological sites which can be visited with a EUR 30 ticket over 5 days, and I recommend visiting all of them if you have time. However this site has less to see than the others - although this was the largest temple in Ancient Greece only a few of the original 106 columns are still there, and most of those that are are covered by scaffolding. Hadrian's Arch, built to honour the Roman Emperor who finished the temple after 700 years, is actually just outside the site and from there you can also see the remains inside.

We bought a ticket that entitled us to visit here as well as the Acropolis and a few other historic sites. On its own, it costs €10 for a ticket here, and put simply, it's not worth it. You see more scaffolding than anything else. The fallen column was mildly interesting, because you can see the individual segments that make up a full column. A more realistic ticket price would be around €3.

A great authentic piece of Greek history. However the site itself was slightly lacking any explanations. There were no display boards with information about the location, which was slightly annoying. We had pre booked tickets for this location, however you may be better off just standing outside and looking at the site through the gates. When we came unfortunately part of the building was under scaffolding which was disappointing however it can’t be helped.

Must see but it super busy. A lot of people on site. Definitely, get yourself a guide. And check out the museum IT was the most beautiful museum I ever been to

Great place to go to see history. Sad to see the state it is in now but well worth the trip!

Simple structure yet such a powerful history behind it. One of the best and most photographed place. You could spend hours here. And the icing on the cake is when you are welcomed by RAIN!

(Translated by Google) Interesting history, colorful colonnade, convenient location close to other attractions. The largest temple was built for over 600 years. The first stone was laid back in 515 BC, and the construction was completed by the Roman emperor Hadrian, a fan of Greek culture, in 130-131. ad. Adrian followed the original design of the building exactly. Several rows of columns surrounded the perimeter of the temple; a majestic statue of the god Zeus was installed inside the temple. Out of modesty, Adrian did not dare to put his image next to the image of God. But in front of the entrance to the temple, 7 statues of Hadrian were installed. Almost everything here bore the name of the great emperor. The entire area was named after him - Adrianoupoli. And the gates leading to the temple, preserved to this day, are called the gate (arch) of Hadrian: They were built by grateful Athenians. The gate is made of marble and is 18 meters high. In those days, they connected the old and new parts of the city. Built for so many centuries, the temple stood for about 150 years, after which in 267 it was destroyed during the invasion of the Heruli. If you know English, then you can come to Olympion without prior preparation. The Ministry of Culture has installed information boards here, where you can read the history of both the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian.

Адриан в точности следовал изначальному проекту здания. Несколько рядов колонн окружали храм по периметру, внутри храма была установлена величественная статуя бога Зевса.

Peace Broadcasting·Peace Newspaper Commemorating the Year of Paul Sado Turkey Greece Pilgrimage Travel Article 4 081225 Peace Broadcasting·Peace Newspaper Radio Station-Moon Aosding Overview of the pilgrimage Outline and Thank You I sincerely thank you, Peace Broadcasting, Peace Broadcasting, and Peace Newspapers, who gave you the opportunity to pilgrimage to the Holy Land ahead of retirement. Centering on the leader Seo Beom-seok of the Seoseok main hall of the Chuncheon parish, I thought that I should do my best to prevent any underprivileged or unfortunate people from happening. In fact, because I had to put all my attention on leading this article, I made a mistake in organizing it, and the materials I had were poor, and even the guide book was given to the guide. did. It seems a little similar to the work of excavating the ruins of an earthquake in Turkey, Greece, and removing them one by one. Throughout my life, I have had so many golden experiences and sights through Catholic faith and life's journey. So, I've been posting a little later to collect data, flesh it out, and reorganize it, and I will continue to add more flesh as I search for verses. 3rd briefing session and preparatory meeting About 10 days before leaving for the pilgrimage, the radio station called me. I accepted that it was good because he said that he needed someone to serve as well and devotedly to work as a leader. I also liked the words that it would be a good trip before retiring. Write a business trip application and receive payment I was assigned to lead the group 4. There were 3 training sessions, and 2 of them were face-to-face with 35 customers of 4 trillion customers. Looking at the list, there were a lot of people aged 80 to 70 who went with each other in pairs, with 11 couples, mother and daughter, and 1 family team. 1st briefing session and preliminary meeting 10.9 days 2nd briefing session and preliminary meeting 10.16 3rd briefing session and preliminary meeting October 31st Pilgrimage Mass (Baptist John Ji-young) with Father Ji-young In celebration of the 2000th anniversary of Paul's birth, a cruise co-hosted by the Seoul Archdiocese Cultural Promotion Bureau (Fr. Young-yup Heo) and the Peace Broadcasting and Peace Newspapers, a pilgrimage to the Holy Land takes place in Greece and Turkey, where the footsteps of the Apostles Paul and the Apostles stand. lost. The apostle Paul's entry into Greece, one of the world's leading events in church history and human cultural history, was an important event that clearly revealed Paul's identity as a'apostle of the Gentiles'. The apostle Paul was influenced by the church in Jerusalem during the first evangelistic tour, but this is because he carried out his own mission as an'Apostle of the Gentiles' while advancing to the Philippi, the gateway to Europe, across Asia Minor in the second evangelistic tour. The Mediterranean, Aegean, and cobalt-colored seas of Europe are so calm and clear that the blues are dazzling and dazzling. A sea of ​​tranquility that embraced numerous civilizations such as Crete, Peleponnese, Athens, Macedonia, and Persia. The Aegean Sea, which has the etymology of'Dadohae', was a land of blessings to the Apostle Paul as much as the number of islands. The Aegean Sea is as calm as a lake. However, it is scary as if swallowing it when it hits hard. The apostle Paul was wrecked three times in this sea and passed his death. When I went to Rome for trial, I met a storm, and for fourteen days I couldn't eat anything, fight the waves, and wander around. There was a time when he complained of the dangers and hardships of an outreach trip, saying, "I was floating in the deep sea all day and night" (2 Cor. 11, 25-26). For the first time in the history of the Catholic Church in Korea, 307 pilgrims, centered on Cardinal Jeong Jin-seok, head of the Seoul Archdiocese, took part in the pilgrimage to find the footsteps of the apostles of the early church standing in every broken stone and grass. From 11.5 days to 10 nights, 11 days, the pilgrims who made a pilgrimage along the Aegean Sea by water following the Apostle Paul's announcement of the Gospel will follow the apostle Paul, who was reborn in faith, to become apostles proclaiming Jesus Christ to all the world in today's social environment I promised. As a 4th group leader, I attended 35 customers. No one fell behind, prayed and walked. Place of pilgrimage This cruise pilgrimage to the Holy Land of the Apostles 2000 years ago was part of the third missionary journey of Paul the Apostle (Acts 15,36-18,22). In the second evangelistic trip (Acts 18,23-21,16), we will also look around the ruins of Laodikeya and Hierapolis churches built by the disciple Evafra. There is no place where his sweat and tears are not soaked. And it was centered on the island of Patmos, which was the exile of the apostle John, and the seven great churches in the apocalypse. In particular, this pilgrimage was carried out as a cruise pilgrimage using ships following the apostles who sowed the seeds of the Gospel throughout the land of the Gentiles without reluctance on the rough waterways.

Excellent Zeus Temple remains...

Only a few columns are left from the temple. You can't get really close to them but it's still quite impressive. There's also a small archaeological site next to it. Part of the combo ticket.

That's impressive how people built such temple so long time ago. Definitely worth to visit, because it is located close to other historical places and not much time is needed to discover the place. It is 4 star's out of five, because of angry employee who is screaming on tourists who step on "forbidden" territory, even though there are no proper sign's that they should not enter there. Would be much easier to mark territory properly and not scream on people 🙂.

Actually, I only saw it from afar while standing near to Hadrian's Arch. It was part of the free "Rick Steves Athens City Walk" audio which I was listening to. He talked us through the rich history which made seeing it all the more meaningful. The audio tour is available for free download online so I highly recommend when visiting Athens!

(Translated by Google) incredible (Original) incrivel

Unless you get student / reduced price tickets, this isn’t worth paying for to get up close. It’s got so much construction work around it, it’s not great. You can get a photo of it from outside the gardens so recommend doing that than wasting entry.

Great historic place to visit. Interesting place. Some other ruins within the compound but no doubt the main columns are the main attraction. It was €6 entrance fee for a single adult at peak season, but it is covered if you go for the main ticket that covers the Acropolis and other areas for €30. Nice to spend an hour or so here.

I like that there are fewer people here than at other monuments(at least today) and getting pictures with no people in them is a nice bonus. Getting closeups also makes coming here a good experience. It’s right down the street from the acropolis so easy to get to. We only spent about 25 minutes for some pictures and the scenery around us(nice view of the Acropolis from here). We bought the €30 pass to see several sites for a better price.

The temple of Zeus, also known as Olympian is a colosal temple was with 104 colums in korinth stile, eight columns across the front and back and twenty-one on the flanks. Now are standing 16 columns, 17 m high and 2 m in diameter. The building was started in the 6th century B.C. and finished in the 2nd century A.D. during rule of romanian emperor Hadrians.

Although there are barely any structures left standing, it is still astonishing to witness it's scale in person. Definitely worth a visit, if you're close to the Acropolis.

Not much to see here. I would say not worth it to buy a ticket for this unless you already have a combo one. There was construction on site also which means even less to see and less picturesque. There were a lot of ruin and stones that were closed off. In general I didn't feel there is anything to see there, so I advise to just pass by quickly at best and even skip it all completely. Also no touching anything!

Well, it is spectacular, but it's not worth paying 8 Euros. No information to understand the history. No storytelling. It is just there. I'd just look at it from outside and take pictures. Seeing the chilling kitties was nice though. :)

When in Athens, this is always a great historic place to visit... although right now they are doing some maintenance work on the temple ...the view is a bit different 🤔 ... but the historic importance & value is always there & even more important! 😉 The photo I'm posting is taken before the maintenance started! 😊👍

While the scale of the temple is certainly impressive, the fact that almost all of it is currently covered in scaffolding as well as the lack of detailed explanations unfortunately diminishes the overall experience.

Very pretty and impressive. Tour guide recommended.

Great site to visit with buggies and it is acessible for wheelchair users, including toilet facilities. We had this site included as part of multi site ticket purchase, but would recommend as one of the sites on your to do list if you are in Athens. We spotted turtles, parrotts and cats on site so much fun for youngest explorers if they get bored looking at ancient ruins.

Didn't go in didn't think was worth the 4 euros each as I would have to pay for 4 people only cause they were repairing the temple most off it was covered up couldn't really see it welll

I suggest visiting this temple before you visit anything else, as it will feel unimpressive if you see the Parthenon first. Another remarkable feat of architecture and engineering, with excavated village ruins around it. Not as individually impressive as other monuments, but must have been enormous in its day.

Yes, the place is very significant in the global scale, but I think it could be enjoyed without actually entering the premises for 8 EUR. Otherwise, it has toilet and drinking water inside the grounds. Not very crowded. During the winter half the price.

Lovely ruins but a shame about the scaffolding. I wouldn't pay to see this on its own - suggest getting the combined ticket A great view up to the acropolis and of nearby hadrians gate. If you want to save your money you can get the same experience walking around the outside as there is little information points or maps inside

More amazing sites of history. Lots to see here if your looking. We took our time and caught it all. There's a great little place at the entrance that serves slushys. Perfect on a hot day.

It’s magnificent how these structures were erected and built. Currently, the ruins is undergoing some reinforcements to support the ruins and make it safer. I won’t go for the single entry ticket, instead I’ll take the ticket package which is for 5 days and gives access to the Acropolis hill and other icons of the city.

As a history teacher, I found this place to be very interesting, however, there was not much to look at besides the large ancient columns inside the park. If you have the multi-historical site ticket, it wouldn't be a waste just to get a little bit closer. I would not recommend buying the tickets separately from other historical sites.

When it was first build, it was probably magnificent, but nowadays, there are only 16 columns left and most of them are covered for reconstructions, so there's not much to see. But at least there is a nice view of the Acropolis from the bottom. The entrance ticket is free for EU residents under 25.

Huge historic temple, covered in significant scaffolding. I went during a heatwave and it was shut from 12-5.30, so I was unable to get inside the fence to have a proper look.

Such an impressive place to go to. I would defend recommend if you like ancient Greece. There are also some other remains of projects around this temple that you can visit with the same ticket as the temple so check those out too! Knowing the history behind this place, whether trough self study or reading the signs, is crucial. Interesting place for those interested in archeological sites! There were also some animals roaming around the site which was nice to see!!

Def worth the time to see and close to the Acropolis, can do it in the same day. It's a small attraction but those columns are amazing and the entry fee is low in comparison to other attractions. As of 11/2023 there is scaffolding while restoration efforts are underway.

The place is missing informational boards that would help to understand the context. A visualization of the temple would also be appreciated. For the price you pay you get basically nothing more than what you see from the outside of the site. The scaffolding blocks a lot of the view.

There's not a whole lot to see here. We were able to get a great view from outside the fence without purchasing a ticket.

It was Heritage day (not sure if thats how they call it) when we went 5th Feb, the entrance were free, we went early before 9 so it was not crowded. Very nice, amazing place highly recommended if your interested with the History.

Its nice but there is no need to pay an entrance to visit it. You can look at the temple from outside the gates.

Amazing columns, but almost everything has dissapeared. It's a pitty

The site mainly consists of just 1 temple, but it’s pretty impressive to see. Entrance is included in the combo ticket to visit the Acropolis and other sites.

Nice archeological site, but not worth paying the entree fee. You can see everything just as good from the outside.

Very impressive! There were very little people when we visited which was perfect for taking pictures. Location is perfect too. Not as impressive as the Akropolis itself, of course, but more impressive than the Roman agora and Hadrian’s library

Don't have so much to see, but we have good turistical leader.

The temple was fascinating and you get free entrance as a student.

Bien entretenu mais peu de vestiges

Beau site, mais cela mériterais des visites guidées

제우스 신전이라는데는 의미있지만 €8를 내고 들어가 보기에는 좀 볼거리가 너무 없습니다. 대신 통합권을 구입해 들어가 보는 것을 추천 드립니다. 그냥 들어가서 본다면 멋진 코린트 양식의 기둥들을 볼 수 있습니다. 5일 패키지권으로 갈 수 있는 장소: 아크로폴리스, 고대 아고라, 로만 아고라, 하드리아누스 박물관, 올림피에온, 케라메이코스, 리케이온 입니다. 아쉽게도 아크로폴리스 박물관은 개별 구입해야하지만 비싸지 않고 좋은 유물이 가득하니 꼭 가보시는 것을 추천합니다. 개별 입장료: €8 5일 패키지권: €30

Monumental place

The massive pillars are impressive, but envisioning the former temple takes a lot of imagination.

I love Athens either ancients or Greek culture. They are amazing things to find Gods world.

As one of the most important cultural heritage sites. Amazingly preserved with amazingly invaluable exhibits.It is worth visiting. Choose a day without traffic. 😊

Stunning! Don't miss it by any chance!

Managed to get in here for free over the weekend. It is well worth a visit although there is not lots left of the temple. The size of the columns though give you an indication of what once stood here.

My suggestion is to take advantage of the ticket which allows you to visit both the Acropolis and other places, among which this temple of Zeus Olympus. The few columns still standing can give you an idea of how majestic the temple had to be in better times. To be fair, it is possible to see everything even from outside the big park for which entrance you need the ticket, but a walk inside can still be evocative. It's a pity, though partially understandable, that some areas of the park are always inaccessible due to work in progress. It deserves to be seen if you're visiting Athens.

Simply majestic! Although 8€ to enter was quite expensive considering there is nothing else to see at this place. No audio guides etc...

Amazing sight, but lack of any signage or description is a shame. It's the monument that Greece forgot...

Nice Tempel. The history of this place is great and definitely bigger then the broken stones you are seeing here.

As many of Athens archaeological sites this is pretty cool however don't expect to be swept of your feet - the whole thing took me and my partner no more than 15 mins to have a look. She loved it, I thought it was a 6/10.

This was right beside our hotel so great to see it so close. Incredible to see such old historical mixed with modern day

Seen quite well through the fence. Worth a visit to check out from distance if you don't want to pay entry

Tôi được tới đây tháng 9-2018, trong chuyến đi triển lãm ảnh giới thiệu đất nước Việt nam tại Athens. Tôi đến đây từ rất sớm, chưa mở cửa bán vé, nên chỉ chụp bên ngoài, nhưng cũng đủ thấy sự uy nghi của đền thờ chúa tể thần Zeus. Hàng cột đá uy nghi giữa trời xanh, những cành oliu mơn mởn,... vô cùng khâm phục.

(Translated by Google) The construction of the temple began in the 6th century BC. during the tyranny of Peisistratus, but was completed only with the reign of the Roman emperor Hadrian, in the 2nd century BC, ie about 650 years after the beginning of its construction During the Roman years the church became the largest church in Greece and hosted one of the largest worship statues in the ancient world. Unfortunately, the glory of the temple did not last long, because it was looted by an invasion of the Heroulias, in the 3rd century AD. It has since ceased to be used, has never been repaired and has slowly been reduced to rubble. In the centuries following the Roman period, the temple was looted to use parts of it as building materials in other constructions of the city. Nevertheless, the ruins that remain visible to this day, are one of the biggest tourist attractions in the city. The church was first excavated in 1889-1896 by the archaeologist F. Penros of the British School of Athens (who also helped in the restoration of the Parthenon), in 1922 by the German archaeologist G. Welter and the 1960s by Greek archaeologists led by Ioannis Travlos. Fifteen columns of the temple remain standing today, while the sixteenth column fell to the ground in a storm of 1852. Unfortunately, nothing has survived from the large statue of Zeus inside the temple. Today the church together with the ruins around it are an important historical heirloom managed by the Antiquities Tax Office of the Ministry of Culture. Nearby from the Pillars of Zeus is the Hadrian's Gate, a Roman arch over the ancient road that started from the city center to the buildings on the east side of the city, including the temple of Zeus. It is said that this arch was built to celebrate the arrival of the Roman emperor Andrian and to honor him for the great benefits he offered to it and especially for the construction of the temple of Olympian Zeus in 131 or 132 BC. (Original) Η κατασκευή του ναού ξεκίνησε τον 6ο αιώνα π.Χ. κατά τη διάρκεια της τυραννίας του Πεισίστρατου, αλλά δεν ολοκληρώθηκε παρά μόνο με τη βασιλεία του Ρωμαίου αυτοκράτορα Αδριανού, το 2ο αιώνα π.Χ., δηλαδή 650 περίπου έτη μετά την έναρξη της κατασκευής του Κατά τα ρωμαϊκά χρόνια ο ναός αναδείχτηκε στον μεγαλύτερο ναό της Ελλάδας και φιλοξένησε ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα λατρευτικά αγάλματα του αρχαίου κόσμου. Δυστυχώς η αίγλη του ναού δε διήρκεσε πολύ, διότι λεηλατήθηκε από μια εισβολή των Χερουλίων, τον 3ο αιώνα μ.Χ. Από τότε έπαψε να χρησιμοποιείται, δεν επισκευάστηκε ποτέ και μετατράπηκε σιγά σιγά σε ερείπια. Τους αιώνες που ακολούθησαν τη ρωμαϊκή περίοδο, ο ναός λεηλατήθηκε για να χρησιμοποιηθούν τμήματά του ως δομικά υλικά σε άλλες κατασκευές της πόλης. Παρόλα αυτά, τα ερείπια που παραμένουν ορατά μέχρι σήμερα, αποτελούν μια από τις μεγαλυτερες τουριστικές ατραξιόν της πόλης Ο ναός ανασκάφηκε για πρώτη φορά το 1889-1896 από τον αρχαιολόγο Φ. Πενρός της Βρετανικής Σχολής της Αθήνας (που βοήθησε και στην αποκατάσταση και του Παρθενώνα), το 1922 από το Γερμανό αρχαιολόγο Γκ. Βέλτερ και τη δεκαετία του 1960 από Έλληνες αρχαιολόγους με επικεφαλής τον Ιωάννη Τραυλό. Δεκαπέντε κίονες του ναού παραμένουν όρθιες σήμερα, ενώ ο δέκατος έκτος κίονας έπεσε στο έδαφος σε μια καταιγίδα του 1852. Δυστυχώς δεν έχει διασωθεί τίποτα από το μεγάλο άγαλμα του Δία που βρισκόταν στο εσωτερικό του ναού. Σήμερα ο ναός μαζί με τα ερείπια γύρω από αυτόν αποτελούν ένα σημαντικό ιστορικό κειμήλιο που διαχειρίζεται η Εφορία Αρχαιοτήτων του Υπουργείου Πολιτισμού. Σε κοντινή απόσταση από τους Στήλους του Διός, βρίσκεται η Πύλη του Αδριανού, μια ρωμαϊκή αψίδα πάνω από τον αρχαίο δρόμο που ξεκινούσε από το κέντρο της πόλης προς τα κτίρια της ανατολικής πλευράς της πόλης, συμπεριλαμβανομένου και του ναού του Δία. Όπως λέγεται, η αψίδα αυτή χτίστηκε για να γιορτάσει η πόλη την άφιξη του Ρωμαίου αυτοκράτορα Ανδριανού και να τον τιμήσει για τα μεγάλα ευεργετήματα που πρόσφερε σε αυτή και κυρίως γι αυτό της κατασκευής του ναού του Ολύμπιου Διός το 131 ή το 132 π.Χ.

A lovely place to visit, impressive to see the columns which are even higher than the Parthenon columns. Recommended to do when in Athens! Note that they have toilets!

Few remaining pieces of a once glorious temple, still worth seeing and just strolling around. Stunning views of Acropolis and surrounding mountains.

Bunch of broken rocks but ok ok, the snow that falls here 330 days a year make it worth while!

A couple of pillars remained from themple. The place, however, keeps its own charisma. Best to be observed from Acropolis or Mount Lyccabetus.

O Templo de Zeus Olímpico é um dos maiores templos dedicados a Zeus. Sua construção em estilo jônico começou em 512 a.C, mas só foi completada mais de 600 anos depois, em 125 d.C, pelo Imperador romano Adriano. O templo encanta pela beleza e grandiosidade, mesmo que atualmente estejam de pé somente 15 das 104 colunas do templo original, as quais possuem 17 m de altura, 2 m de diâmetro e são feitas de mármore.

The Temple of Zeus at Olympia was an ancient Greek temple in Olympia, Greece, dedicated to the god Zeus. The temple, built in the second quarter of the fifth century BC, was the very model of the fully developed classical Greek temple of the Doric order. The Temple of Zeus was built on an already ancient religious site at Olympia. The Altis, an enclosure with a sacred grove, open-air altars and the tumulus of Pelops, was first formed during the tenth and ninth centuries BC, Greece's "Dark Age", when the followers of Zeus had joined with the followers of Hera. The temple was of peripteral form, with a frontal pronaos (porch), mirrored by a similar arrangement at the back of the building, the opisthodomos. The building sat on a crepidoma (platform) of three unequal steps, the exterior columns were positioned in a six by thirteen arrangement, two rows of seven columns divided the cella (interior) into three aisles. An echo of the temple's original appearance can be seen in the Second Temple of Hera at Paestum, which closely followed its form. Pausanias visited the site in the second century AD and states that the temple's height up to the pediment was 68 feet (20.7 m), its breadth was 95 feet (29.0 m), and its length 230 feet (70.1 m). It was approached by a ramp on the east side. Because the main structure was of a local limestone that was unattractive and of poor quality, it was coated with a thin layer of stucco to give the appearance of marble so as to match the sculptural decoration. It was roofed with tiles of Pentelic marble, cut thin enough to be translucent, so that on a summer's day, "light comparable to a conventional 20-watt bulb would have shone through each of the 1,000 tiles." From the edge of the roof projected 102 waterspouts or gargoyles in the shape of lion heads, of which 39 are extant. Incongruities in the styles of the spouts provide evidence that the roof was repaired during the Roman period. The sculptural decoration, in imported Parian marble featured carved metopes and triglyph friezes, topped by pediments filled with sculptures in the Severe Style, now attributed to the "Olympia Master" and his studio. The Eastern pediment depicts the chariot race between Pelops and Oenomaus while the Western pediment features a centauromachy with Theseus and the Lapiths. The god Apollo is featured on the western pediment pointing towards the human side in the centauromachy, indicating his favor, and towards the northern side of the temple. Pausanias reports in his Description of Greece (5.10.8) that the Eastern pedimental sculpture was created by Paeonius and the Western sculpture was carved by Alcamenes. The metopes from the temple depict the twelve labours of Heracles. The temple housed the renowned statue of Zeus, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Chryselephantine (gold and ivory) statue was approximately 13 m (43 ft) high, and was made by the sculptor Phidias in his workshop on the site at Olympia. The statue's completion took approximately 13 years (470–457 BC) and was one of Classical Greece's most revered artistic works. The installation of the colossal statue coincided with substantial modification of the cella. The internal columns and their stylobates were dismantled and repositioned, which likely necessitated retiling the roof. The original floor, paved with large blocks of shell stone, was covered with water-resistant lime, which may have helped protect the statue's ivory against humidity. The Roman general Mummius dedicated twenty-one gilded shields after he sacked Corinth in 146 BC; they were fixed at the metopes of the eastern front side and the eastern half of the south side.[citation needed] In AD 426, Theodosius II ordered the destruction of the sanctuary during the Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire.

(Translated by Google) The Temple of Olympian Zeus or Olympia, colloquially referred to as the Columns of Olympian Zeus or (etymologically correct) Pillars of Olympian Zeus [3] [4] [5] is an important ancient temple in the center of Athens. Although its construction began in the 6th century BC, it was not completed until the time of the Roman emperor Hadrian in the 2nd century AD. It was the largest church in Greece during the Hellenistic and Roman times.

Very nice place, it only has there columns, so not much to see there, but that not much is so awesome, also you can see the Acropolis clearly from the Temple of Zeus, and a picture there with the Acropolis is amazing. These columns are very tall, more than you think. This place is very beautiful ❤️

Nice archeologic site with amazing columns and a great view onto the Acropolis

Impressive columns but was good on a free day

History at your fingertips. It was awesome.

An amazing piece of architecture that has view of the Parthenon and is next to hadrians arch. A nice sign to tell you the significance of the temple

Only a few ruins but the size of the temple is still impressive. Couple meters away from the Adrian’s gate. Nice view on Acropolis from the site.

The Template was being renovated when I visited, but still the columns were impressive. Really liked the view on Handrian's gate with the Acropolis on the back. The place has a water fountain to refill your water bottle.

Very beautiful, a quite place in the city to reflect.

Set in quite large grounds, there was less of a spectacle here than some of the other sites. Loads of scaffolding too.

Beautiful old temple of Zeus or at least what is left of it. Entrance is 6 euro.

The daddy of the gods gets the daddy of all temples! Love those Corinthian columns!

Unfortunately not much to look at as the temple itself only survived as a few columns. Worth the reduced price of 3 euros. No audio guide available, we got one online and it gave us some info. Worth for a few photos, but that's it, sadly.

I liked it but a large portion was closed off. So what you could see from the street was really all you got to see inside it. Still cool.

Something from the ancient Greek. Nice to see. The people could be more friendly though.

Not very exciting, pretty much everything is closed off, and the temple itself is in renovations

Nothing is described, the place itself is interesting, but it would be better to know some details about the things you’re looking at.

Unbelievable experience! It feels absolutely unreal and powerful! A lot of climbing up so wouldn't recommend it for families with small kids or people with disabilities.

Beautiful piece of history. Large green area for a good afternoon walk. There are small local shops around the area to grab some food as well.

The best experience you may have

Unfortunately a lot of it was covered by scaffolding when I visited. The venue was included in a multi-site ticket, which was valid for 4 days, so it was still worth it to visit even if a lot was covered up.

Currently (March, 2022) under reconstruction, what spoils phenomenal nature of the ancient temple columns.

A great place that must see in Athens, Greece.The Columns display great detail. A very peaceful place to observe the human sacrifices to build the temple.

Always an amazing experience to travel abroad and see a bit of ancient history. I’ve always read about ancient Greece, I’m happy I had an opportunity to visit these artifacts.

You can imagine it was once a very majestic buiding and it does take points on that However, right now it's mostly destroyed and the few pillars standing are mostly in maintenance. The entrance fee is 6€. If I didn't have the combo ticket, I wouldn't pay to get in.

Great area. Not nearly as many info plaques as other locations. It was started in classical era but wasn't finished till roman. The pillars are massive and awe Inspiring to be near.

Honestly sad that I visited during reconstruction, good thing in long terms tho. Not necessary to purchase a ticket to see it (from the Arch of Hadrian) but if you want to contribute to it’s reconstruction Zeus would be pleased.

The first and must place to visit in Athens is Acropolis. I loved this place. You can view the entire city of Athens from this location. Usually it is crowded place but still from some angles you can take good photographs of ancient architecture.

Haven't entered the site, as it was all in scaffolding. Expected much more. Even new statues and colons would make effect and attract more people and of course social media.

I believe the temple (once the reconstruction is over) will be stunning. However, currently the place consists of various “stones” scattered around the area. It would be great to have more information boards which would make the visit definitely more interesting. If it was not included in the combo ticket, I think it is not worth a visit. Also, you can see most of the things from behind the fence.

We had a great time!! Would definitely recommend a guide because otherwise, you could missed out on a lots of information! Our guided visit lasted around 3hours which was perfect. We had two elderly person with us and they had not too much difficulty (plenty of place to take pauses in the shadow). Our tour started around 3pm and it was not too crowded.

It was another great location to visit for the history. You should get the Athens Combo Ticket (Acropolis, etc.) and this is including in it.

Not a lot for the current €8 entry fee. Lots of it was closed when we visited (May 2023) and a huge section of the map is completely inaccessible. Probably worth it just for the Temple but just don't expect to see much more than that.

It is a great structure, but the magic is ruined by a lot of restoration work. I wish they found out a way to restore few pillars at a time. Couldn’t enjoy the structure. Have a look at my pictures to view restoration work. This is as of July 2023.

The remains of the temple are huge and impressive, but compared to some of the other historic sites we visited in Athens, this one felt a bit thin.

We visited the temple of Zeus through a private tour guide. Goodness, there were a lot of cars out front but the visit was worth it. Thankfully we had a multi-museum ticket and didn’t have to wait in any line. Its wide open and it was raining a bit but not bad. Unfortunately, a lot of the columns were under scaffolding, but there were a couple that were preserved. As strange as this sounds, there was also a column that had fallen and was neat to see a post repair condition. It gave more appreciation for the work they are doing to reconstruct and repair the area. We also found the resident turtle who came out to say hello!

We didn't go in, but thought it was worth a walk past. If you're in a rush or feeling frugal, you can see most of the temple if you stand at different places around the fence. Very interesting history, possible to do your own research about the temple and its history.

Spectacular view and amazing history. It’s worth the trip. I visited in 2013 and can’t wait to return.

A beautiful historical site to behold !! I was a bit disappointed at first that I couldn't see it's full glory because they are currently renovating it (as of the time of this writing) , but at the same time I'm also proud that they pay huge tribute to our valuable historical heritage that our great ancestors left us with!!

This was one of the stop-overs with MSC cruises. A wonderful experience. The weather was great and there were no queues.
