It depends on what time period you are looking at. Modern (summer) Olympics are held every four years around the world - for example, in 2008, it was in Beijing, China, and in 2012, it will be London, England.

However, the original Olympic games were held in Athens, Greece, in honor of one of the Greek gods, Zeus.

P.S. The 2004 Olympic games were held in Athens, Greece!
