This UNESCO-listed venue hosted stadion races (180m sprint) and discus throwing. The stone starting blocks with toe grooves and the discus circle markings are remarkably preserved, reflecting Panhellenic Games standards.
Partial access is available via the northern ramp entrance. However, the original stone seating areas require crossing uneven terrain. A 3D virtual tour app with audio description is recommended for visitors with mobility challenges.
Certified Hellenic Ministry guides offer 45-minute tours in English/French/German (€10/person). Highlights include the athletes' tunnel and the sacrificial altar ruins. Private bookings require 24-hour notice via the official website.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes are essential due to rough marble surfaces. Bring sunglasses and hats as shade is limited. Photography is permitted but tripods require special permit from the onsite archaeological office.
About 75% original materials were used in the 1960s restoration, particularly in the starting line markers. The east tribune retains its authentic curvature, while the missing columns were intentionally left unrestored per UNESCO conservation guidelines.
A designated pathway along the track edge allows close observation without damaging the ancient surface. Touching the 2,300-year-old stone lap counter is strictly prohibited. Ranger patrols enforce these heritage protection rules rigorously.
