Getting to Ancient Olympia first thing in the morning before the possible tour groups is a real privilege and that is why staying in Olympia is essential. Kronio is right there about a 5 minute walk to the site. It is an immaculately clean and functional hotel and the in house video about Olympia is a nice touch. We were given a good tip for dinner too, Arestis. But for any Aussies out there, locals eat late so we had the restaurant to ourselves too!
