Frequently Asked Questions
Right at the mole, and the village centre begins practically at the foot of the gangway. Ten minutes on foot brings you to the main street and its terraces.
For Olympia. The village itself takes minutes to explore, but some thirty kilometres away lies the sanctuary where the Greek world invented the Games: few destinations offer such a shortcut to the origins of our sporting culture.
About 30 km, some 30 to 40 minutes by road on an excursion or by taxi. A train also makes the run in about 45 minutes for roughly ten euros return: check the day's timetable as soon as you step ashore.
Four to five hours in total including transport, and most call schedules allow it comfortably. The museum needs an hour for the essentials, the site about the same.
The gymnasium, the palaestra, the temples, the treasuries of the city-states and above all the stadium, whose stone starting line is still in place. Passing through the athletes' entrance vault and setting foot on the track gives a thrill that even the least antiquity-minded admit to feeling.
The most precious finds from the excavations, including the winged Nike of Paionios. The reconstructed pediments of the Temple of Zeus fill an entire hall, where the marble bodies still seem to wrestle and run.
The small beach of Plakes, two hundred metres from the quay, lines up its pebbles in clear water, with showers and changing rooms. The waterfront tavernas serve grilled fish and cold local white wine.
Olive oil shops offer tastings, and the most useful souvenir of the region often comes in a golden bottle. The main street also has jewellers and olive sellers.
Yes. The village is flat, the beach is two hundred metres away, and a small tourist train runs locally. At Olympia, bring water and a hat: the site is large and shade is limited to the Aleppo pines.
The euro and Greek, with English widely spoken in a village used to ships. Bring cash for site and museum entry tickets in high season, and for the train.
