Olympic Torch Relay


The Olympic Torch Relay is the transfer of the Olympic flame from Ancient Olympia, Greece, to the stadium of the city hosting the Opening Ceremony of the Games.

The objective of the ATHENS 2004 Torch Relay is to give to the Olympic flame the possibility to light the universal values of Olympism and to touch people's hearts

In a journey that will last some 78 days, the Olympic flame will cover a distance of more than 78.000 km, throughout the world and light every prefecture of Greece.

Beyond the borders of Greece the Flame, in the hands of 3.600 Torchbearers, traveled to Africa and Latin America for the first time and it finally returned to all the previous Olympic cities. A total of 260 million people had the opportunity to see the Flame in their city.

The first leg of the Olympic Torch Relay started on March 25th 2004 with the Lighting Ceremony in Olympia. The Flame travelled around Peloponnese and the islands of Argosaronikos for seven days. After its international journey it returned to Greece for the second leg, which will take place from July 9th 2004 to August 13th 2004.

Olympic Torch Relay

The Olympic flame commenced on its International Route on 04 June and returned to Greece on 9 July, after an international journey on all five continents, through 26 countries and 34 cities. It will now continue its journey in Greece. In Greece, the olympic torch route will pass through the 54 prefectures of Greece. For 43 days, approximately 7.700 Torchbearers will travel across the country, passing through large cities as well as small border towns, finally to arrive at the Athens Olympic Stadium on the evening of 13 August.
