Greece - The Most Admired Land part 3

Greece also gets known for having gifted the world with Modern Olympic Games. It was Athens in 1896, where the first Olympic Games were organized after its modern-day revival. Olympic Games have since become a rallying point for the players and athletes from all over the world to compete and people from varying backgrounds to mingle with each other. Remains of the ancient Olympia stadium were excavated and restored in the middle of the 20th century.
It is the same location from where the Olympic Flame starts its journey and gets carried to the game venues.
These and many other exciting stories may suggest why Greece has been admired for ages now.
