It is incredible that this beautifully carved statue has survived the centuries and we can gaze on it today. It was carved during the Classical period of Greek sculpture in the 4th century B.C. Hermes is holding the baby Dionysus and it is a work of true beauty.

The Kalavryta Municipal Museum is devoted solely to the massacre of innocent civilians by the German Wehrmacht which took place not only in Kalavryta but also the entire region during December 1943. Entire villages were attacked and destroyed and males over 12 years of age gunned down in an attempt to destroy the resistance movement in the Peloponeese. The Museum explains it all in graphic detail and the last room one visits contains the photographs of all the known victims and the small number of survivors of whom only 3 are believed to be alive in the world today. There is also a video archive which details the lives of those who were executed and those who survived. The Museum details the sites of the memorials which exist in the area in local villages and communities and these are well worth a visit if you want to get an idea of the true scale and enormity of what took place.
4. Olympia Land Winery

5.0 based on 216 reviews
An unforgettable excursion to the family winery Olympia Land Estate which is into the green valley of Olympia and just 5 minutes from the archaeological site. The particular terroir of the region, the excellent microclimate, the clayey and sandy soil help our vines to grow healthy and very aromatic grapes in order to produce high quality wines. In the Olympia Land Estate you have the opportunity to be part in a tour which start with a walk on the vineyards where you learn about the cultivation of the vines, continue in the production area and finally in the cellar with the oak barrels. After the tour you will enjoy samples of our wines, our homemade olive oil and also other traditional snacks in the air-conditioned reception area. We are on your disposal to help you to organize quickly and easily your excursion which will be for you a memorable experience.

When many people think “wine,” Greece is not among the places they consider for fine wines or even up-and-coming vino. Olympia GI Winery, a family winery located in historic Olympia, makes one reconsider whether the next hot wine locale will be Greece. The vineyard started as a hobby, now turned into a business, according to our guide, part of the family. The vineyard also has a bustling olive oil business (and it is excellent). Wines are reasonably priced, and they have whites, reds, and a rose (made with Syrah). The tasting room and outdoor area are nice places to enjoy a glass of your favorite and a snack plate (which pairs well with the selections here). We enjoyed the red (called Phideas, which combines Agiorgitiko and Merlot) and wish we’d have taken home a few more bottles. A bonus: some very sweet puppies to play with as well).
