Main Entrance (Archaeological Site & Museum)

Located on the north side of the site, just off the main road from Olympia town, this entrance is clearly marked and serves both the archaeological park and the Archaeological Museum of Olympia. The entrance is step-free and suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, though some pathways within the ruins are uneven or gravelly. Ticket counters and security checks are located here, and this is the primary access point for all visitors, including those arriving by car, bus, or on foot from Olympia village.
