Olympia was situated in a valley in Elis, in western Peloponnese (Peloponnesus), through which the Alpheus River flows. In 776 BC, Iphitos, king of Elis, Kleosthenes of Pisa and Lykourgos of Sparta reorganized the Olympic Games in honor of Zeus and instituted the  “ekecheiria”, the sacred truce during the conduction of the games.  Olympia’s fame rests upon the Olympic Games , the greatest national festival and a highly prestigious one world-wide.  The most important sanctuary of Zeus is situated here, as well as Altis and the original stadiums of the Olympic Games.
