Click on the name of your chosen area to view properties available for rent. We highly recommend a trip to Olympia, the historic home of the Olympics. Olympia is in the Pelopponese, south of the Corinthian Gulf in mainland Greece. With a little imagination you will be able to envisage the original Olympic village, marvel at the scale of it and view artefacts preserved in the museum. There is also a historic stadium in Athens and other dotted about Greece. Delphi has a stadium in addition to the settlement associated with the Oracle. It all contributes to the image of male physical perfection and prowess admired by the ancient Greeks. Athens has great public transport links. The three lines of the metro cross over much of Athens and one line runs from Pireaus up to Kifissia and stops along the way include the Olympic Stadium in Irini. |
