The Market of Ancient Olympia is a small, bright, conscientiously run market established in 1951. It's easy to find everything you need at the market, where each stall is well-organized and brightly lit. You'll find flowers, clothes, jewelry, trinkets and more on the assortment of stalls.

The Archaeological Site of Olympia is the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, which were held here for more than one thousand years. The best-preserved ruins there include the Temple of Hera, with its colossal statue; the Philippeion, a circular building with a central dome that once housed the Olympic throne; and the stadium, which has been restored to its original shape. The site is also notable for the number of ancient Greek sculptures that have been found here.
This archaeological site is one of many from the ancient world that provides evidence of the Romans' military power. Paintings on rocks and pottery found in what was once a natural cave preserved for more than 2,000 years, give archaeologists a glimpse of what life was like for the early Romans. The paintings show Roman soldiers and horses, with rides and battle scenes.

Olympia has scenic Nemouta Waterfalls. They are situated at the foothills of the Dikti Mountain, a mountain of northern Greece.

Nemoute is derived from Greek nemos, which means "forest".

The waterfall receives water from the Vrisilis River but has not yet been classified or categorized and described by a particular academic or the tax office.

In some cases, nemoute may result in temporary flooding that can cause destruction to crops and homes (in Livadia), with damage to trees, roofs, and pavements being prevalent. The town of Livadia lies on the central gulf coast south west of Olympia close to Pireaus and an important port town in Attica.

In the course of its 630 years, the Archimedes Museum has attracted visitors from all over Europe with exhibitions that explore many important achievements in scientific, technological and industrial fields of the ancient world, including:
- Archimedes's calculating machines and their place in society
- The Archimedes Palimpsest, one of the most important ancient manuscripts to have survived from antiquity and its importance for modern science
- The use of diving bells during the Middle Ages for scientific research and exploration

The Klio's Honey Farm in Olympia is a family-owned company that started in 1952. They are an apiary and honey house focusing on producing locally grown, raw, pure and clean honey. Their brand of honey is carried by many local retailers and restaurants throughout the Puget Sound region.
