The museum, where the famous statues Nike of Paeonius and Hermes of Praxitelesare are displayed, reopened after electricity supplies were resumed and burned trees removed from the surrounding area.
Grass and trees at the stadium that hosted the ancient Olympic Games were burned down, but the construction itself has been saved. The fire destroyed woodland at the Kronion Hill not far from the stadium. Ancient rocks at the yard of the German Archaeological University were also damaged.
Archaeological sites of temples to the gods Zeus and Hera escaped the blaze.
New fires emerged around the complex, but they have been quickly put out by aerial firefighters, and posed no threat to the walls of Ancient Olympia.
To the south of Olympia, rescue teams stopped fire two-and-a-half kilometers (1.5 miles) from the walls of the Temple of Apollo, a 2,500-year-old monument near the town of Andritsaina in the southwestern Peloponnese. Fires threatening the fifth century BC theatre of Epidavros were also extinguished.
A blaze burned brush and bushes at an ancient settlement and a tower near the valley of Muses on Mount Helicon in Boeotia, but did not damage an archaeological site in the center of the valley.
Other famous historical sites, such as Corinth, Mycenae, the Byzantine settlements of Mystras, Geraki and Monemvassia, escaped the fires.
