Olympic torch winds through Greece ahead of 2026 Winter Games in Italy
The Olympic torch relay took a winding path through parts of Greece on Nov. 27, 2025 as the Olympic flame is carried from Ancient Olympia to Milan ahead of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
At dawn, the relay left the mountain town of Kalavryta, west of Athens, and headed north to the coastal town of Patras, the gateway to mainland Greece.
A series of torchbearers carried the flame across the Rio–Antirrio Bridge, connecting the mainland to the Peloponnese.
The flame then passed through the famed lakes and hills of Agrinio before concluding the day in the Alpine landscapes of Karpenisi.
After a week-long Greek relay, the flame will be handed over in Athens to Italian Games organizers on Dec. 4 before it travels to Italy for the start of a months-long domestic relay.
A total of 10,001 torchbearers will carry the flame through 60 Italian cities and 300 towns before reaching Cortina D’Ampezzo on Jan. 26 – exactly 70 years after the opening ceremony of the 1956 Games at the same venue.
The journey will conclude in Milan, entering the San Siro stadium on the evening of Feb. 6 for the Games' opening ceremony.
