Summary edit
| Description |
Most people seem to arrive on tour buses which can be arranged by any travel agency. See www.fantasytravelofgreece.com and click on 'Tours'. For those using George the Famous Taxi Driver, keep in mind that it is a 5 hour drive from Athens and is therefore an overnight trip. But this can be done in combination with Delphi, Kalavrita or even Nafplio and the Argolis. For hotels contact Dolphin Hellas or Fantasy Travel in Athens. We stayed at the excellent Hotel Europa part of the Best Western chain. The hotel is located on a wooded hill overlooking the town of Olympia and the beautiful valley to the west. It has a swimming pool, a large dining area and beautiful rooms with televisions with many channels. See www.hotelsofgreece.com/peloponessos/europa You can find more recommended hotels in Olympia at www.hotelsofgreece.com/peloponessos There are five trains a day to Pyrgos, half an hour away, and from there six trains a day toAthens and eight trains a day to Patras. If you are coming from Italy and have your heart set on Olympia take a bus or train to Pyrgos and then to Olympia. There are four buses a day from Olympia to Athens. If you are planning to rent a car and drive from Athens to Olympia check out Swift Rent-a-Car. They will pick you up at the airport or your hotel and drive you to the National road and let you by-pass the notorious Athens traffic. See their website at www.greektravel.com/swift |
