Escape to Ancient Olympia
Our first route includes visiting the small, charming Krestena, a village - satellite of ancient Olympia, which is truly a gastronomic surprise for the visitor. In Krestena, you will come, and you will come again, and your whole table will be set with decadent local goodies. Her name comes from the Latin word "Chrestena", the name of a princess during the Venetian occupation. The location is very idyllic. Krestena nests in a green niche on the road to Ancient Olympia.
Forests of firs and oaks, beech cypresses, olive groves that shine under the sun, charming vineyards on gentle hills shape its landscape.
Just 22 minutes from our property.
In the "valley of the gods" flourished the most glorious sanctuary of ancient Greece and the birthplace of the most important sporting events, Ancient Olympia. The Olympic Games, the most significant sporting event of antiquity, from 776 B.C., united all the Greeks of the then known world every four years.
It is worth visiting the Archaeological Museum of Olympia, which is among the most important Greek museums. His exhibits include the sculptural decoration of the temple of Zeus, which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the Victory of the Peony.And of course the statue of Hermes by Praxiteles.
