Hotels Near Mercouri Estate in Pyrgos

Dexamenes is a superb hotel with limited number of rooms (40), making it a personalised experience. 30 minutes drive from the port of Killini and ancient Olympia, the city of Patras at just more than 1 hour drive. We got a very warm welcome, followed by a tour of the site, being a former wine factory. The setting is very nice, with some trees, even small vineyard and at the border of the sea with a private beach. We had a great room with sea sight in a former ”wine tank”. With direct seaview, even when lying on the bed ! Fantastic breakfast and service, high quality food. Small buffet combined with à la carte breakfast. Great mornings sitting outside under the trees with seaside view. Just fantastic. You need a car to visit the area. Via the hotel we booked a private tour at ancient Olympia, with a great guide, many thanks Elena (@Elena Aggeli) for taking us 2,5 hours on a very interesting tour ! Dinner is served in the evening outside, once again with seaview. Very good restaurant with high quality food. A la carte menu, ideal for 4-5 evenings, as no major daily changes except for the ”catch of the day”. Which we can recommend. Very nice bar. Really friendly and helpful staff. It was great place to stay ! Many thanks !

This is a reasonable 4 star hotel. Our room was an OK size with a couple of stairs going down to a small sitting area and the balcony. Unfortunately once we put a suitcase on the luggage rack at the bottom of the bed it made it a bit tight walking around the bed. The room had a view overlooking the swimming pool. There was a small pull-out clothes line on the balcony which we really appreciated. The bathroom was a reasonable size although there was a bath with a shower over it rather than a walk in shower. The hotel is up a hill and the distance to the town is not very far. However, it is a very steep hill. We walked down very carefully and caught a taxi back which only costs us 5€. There is free parking at the hotel. There was quite a range of food available for breakfast. On the second morning of our stay there was someone cooking omelettes to order which was great. On check-out the receptionist told us there was a charge for mini-bar items we had consumed. We told her that we had not consumed anything. She quickly said “sorry, my mistake”. She did not check anything and we were left with the feeling that this had been a “try on”. Regardless, it would seem that this is something that the receptionist should check before advising customers of an additional charge because last impressions count. Without this incident I would have rated the hotel as very good rather than average.

Stay for one night after visiting the archaeological site of Olimpia, very vintage hotel, family-run, the owner, who also spoke well the Italian, is a very kind and available person, who loves his work and his house! The room was at the first floor, there was no lift but it was so kind to bring my baggage up and down! A comfortable room, quite spacious as the bathroom, without window but with a functioning windscreen. A beautiful balcony with tables and chairs. The only new thing was that he looked very noisy on the road, so at any time. The hotel has a comfortable parking front of the hotel. Super breakfast with soda eggs, bread, marmalades, honey, bricks and cake, Greek yoghurt and a very good orange swallow prepared at the moment. Excellent quality price ratio. The hotel is 30 km from the port of Killini, where we took the ferry the morning afterwards.

We stayed at Kronio Hotel during our visit to Olympia. The location is perfect, just a ten-minute walk to the museum and to the archeological site. We came during low season, so there were not many guests. The place is a little older, but good enough. The owner was very kind when he showed us to our room. He prepared a very nice breakfast for us in the morning. We enjoyed out stay and the kind hospitality extended by our host.

Lovely local taverna we were staying at house Olympia and wanted to eat locally. Bacchus was just a short drive for us. It's a pension too we hadn't realised it's a quaint rustic building very down to earth. We think we were served by the owner who gave us a warm welcome. We had plenty of time to order. I chose grilled vegetables to start and my husband the spinach pie, which we shared. my husband chose grilled pork with fries. I opted for the lamb cooked in tomato, both portions were generous. A good selection of drinks and dessert I recommend the chocolate cake. Service was a little rushed but it was busy with tourists and locals. Ideal stop for a local meal. I used the toilet and the facilities were immaculate tastefully decorated.
