HOW TO GET TO ANCIENT OLYMPIA AND EUROPA HOTEL

Driving to Hotel Europa and Olympia by car is probably the easiest way to get here. The are two routes available if your starting point is Athens.
The first is via Patras (334km). This is the road used by most travelers because it is close to the sea and you have some very beautiful imagery throughout the journey. All you have to choose is the direction of Patras, then follow on to Pyrgos, and then Olympia. The second one is via Tripoli (323km). This route will take you through the mountains of Corinthia, through Artemisio tunnel, and then downhill from there through the mountains of Arcadia. This trip is more demanding as there are more twists and turns to the road, but it is definitely a very wild and beautiful road to travel. Getting to Olympia by public transport is not expensive but it is recommended you avoid this means of transport if you have children, lots of luggage, etc. For both trains and buses your ticket will get you to Pyrgos. You then need to get off the bus/train and purchase a ticket for the remainder of the trip (20km) which also means you will might have to wait for approximately 20 minutes for your connection.
