Mountain Road, Rural Peloponnesia

So after Mycenae, we headed west, through the interior, bound for Archaia Olympia, on a mountain/gorge road of Vicki's nightmares.

Nice little road-side chapel; note snow in the mountains...

Heading toward one of the more vertical little towns we have

seen

Closer up



Road narrows (a lot), helpful bend mirrors, a dozen of them,

eventually, begin to appear



Fortunately, there's not a lot of traffic

Back on the narrow, twisty, and true

Tiny oil truck for tiny roads

In another little town, a fixer-upper with income potential



A couple more of the thousands of road-side shrines one

sees in Greece



Finally, we're on an expressway, sort of; but then it comes to

an abrupt, unannounced end...



But we finally make it to Olympia and spend the night

(with police permission even) in the parking lot next to the

great archaeological site
