I've been compiling my experiences from an epic adventure through Greece earlier this year. Walking (/driving) in the footsteps of some of the greatest ancients, we travelled from Athens, up to Delphi, across the Rio–Antirrio Bridge, around the Peloponnesus and back.

Such an Odyssey couldn't come without a video, and the scale of it has turned out to be big enough for several videos!

Against the Poseidonic storms of an all-too-busy work life, I have finally finished my tour of that greatest of historic sites, Olympia.

So join me for part 3! This video covers the port city of Patras and of course, the Olympia archaeological site - its origins both mythological and archaeological, and some of the wondrous sites there to see.
