Where can I see the Olympic Flame? - A Gas Lamp Hanging on Stick

Before Olympic Games, the Olympic Flame is brought to the host city by a torch relay. Then, during the Olympic Games, the Olympic Flame is burning in the Olympic Cauldron located in or close to the stadium. However, I heard that the Olympic Flame is also burning during Olympia and will never be extinguished.

So I'm looking for the place where I can see the Olympic Flame during Olympiad. I guess it could be located in Greece, the place of the first Olympics?
