Meet Me at the Valley of the Gods
Olympian Land. A world-renowned destination.
Let’s meet, mingle, and evolve at this true spiritual destination that has it all
There is no other place in the world like the birthplace of the Olympic Games. A sacred energy still exists today, celebrating the most significant sports events for peace in the ancient world. The Olympian Land in the Western Peloponnese is a true spiritual destination, offering abundant natural beauty. Breathtaking landscapes surrounded by majestic mountains, scenic long sandy beaches, picturesque mountain villages, ski resorts, and natural thermal spas are all found in just one place.
Ancient Ilis unveiled as a significant historical hub
Just 32 km from the Congress Center lies the ancient city of Ilis, a site steeped in history and culture. Ancient Ilis was not only the administrative heart of the region but also played a critical role in organising the ancient Olympic Games, an event that continues to inspire humanity with its ideals of peace and athletic excellence. This historical city was built on the north banks of the Peneus River, strategically situated between the mountainous part and the fertile coastal lowlands of the region.
The city thrived through various historical periods, from its mythical founding in the wake of the Dorian invasion to its flourishing during the early Roman era when it became a cultural hub due to its connection to the Olympics.
Explore the timeless legacy of Ancient Olympia
The archaeological site of Ancient Olympia is also just 32 km away from Ilis Congress Center. Ancient Olympia remains until today a mythical destination and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1989. But it is not only the legends that were born in antiquity and are still alive today; it is the plethora of endless sandy beaches like Skafidia, the seaside village where Ilis Congress Center is located. The ancient forest of Foloi, the natural waterfalls, and the mesmerising landscapes of the Ilia region on the west side of the Peloponnese take you by surprise. Unspoiled, authentic, and full of surprises, this part of Greece is a place of undercover wonders.
Seamlessly connecting you to the heart of Greece
With two international airports, Athens International Airport and Kalamata International Airport, as well as the airport of Araxos, all within easy driving distance from Ilis Center, there is no doubt that the mega-conference center has an absolute strategic location. Significant recent developments, including major infrastructure road projects and highways connecting Athens, Patra, and Peloponnese all over Greece, make Ilis Congress Center a new global hub with significant momentum.
Thanks to its connections with the Ionian and Adriatic Seas and the new highway connecting Athens to Patra, the new Ilis Congress Center is also a three-hour drive from Athens, Greece's capital, and an hour away from Patra and Kalamata, two central cultural cities of Peloponnese. There is undoubtedly no better way to explore the natural majesty of Olympian Land and Peloponnese than to visit the new Ilis Congress Center.
Due to its strategic location, Ilis Congress Center is easily accessible by air, land, and sea. Pyrgos is a beautiful town just 13 km away. The Port of Patras, which connects to the biggest ports in the Mediterranean, is a city renowned for its culture and is only 88 km away.
