The archaeological site of Olympia is certainly beautiful but I think the rest of the area is also worth to mention and to see. First of all, the village of Olympia is very beautiful and has many trees. Food in the taverns of the square is delicious, especially lamb on the spit with potatoes and red wine. Close to Olympia, there is a theatre built like an ancient amphitheatre, only it was built some decades ago, so it is modern. Unfortunately, there were no performances the day we went there. If you want to make some excursions in the area, go to Killini village, which has an incredible sandy beach (Killini is also the port from where ferries to Zakynthos and Kefalonia leave). The town of Pirgos is the capital of the prefecture but has not many things to see, only a nice paved square to drink a coffee.
