At Kyllini there are mineral springs, hydropathic installations, new hotels and a public beach. East of Patras there are resorts at Psathopirgos, Lambiri, Longos, Selianitika, Kounoupeli and Kalogria . A tiny train climbs up the Vouraikos Gorge from Diakofto to Kalavrita . Olympia , the original site of the Olympic Games where the flame is still lit, can be reached by train or by the mountain road from Kalavrita, or along the coast, via Patras and Pyrgos. The site is a mass of marble inscriptions, restored temples and civic buildings, including the Temple of Zeus, which once housed the colossal chryselephantine statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Tourists often conduct their own impromptu races in the stadium.
There is also a good archaeological museum. From Olympia the road turns east and follows the Alfios River through the wild Arcadian Mountains. There is a spa at Loutra . The main road from Olympia to Tripoli is less treacherous, going down from the mountains to the plain of Tripoli. At Bassae is the well-preserved temple of the Epicurian Apollo.
