Well spotted. It certainly isn't the ancient site of Olympia, it is in fact the pool at the Best Western Hotel in modern Olympia.
I have a chronic health condition which flares up now and again (well more often than that really but let's not dwell) and holidays tend to trigger it. Which explains why, while the rest of the group were exploring the site of the original Olympics, we were resting by the pool in the hotel for the morning. It was a nice way to spend time; the gardens were beautiful, it was warm without being too hot, it was restful and the hotel even opened up the bar just so that someone could make us some coffee.
While I would have preferred to see Olympia, since I'm not expecting to go back to mainland Greece so won't get another chance, if I had to be ill this was the place to do it. The staff were exceptionally good and even gave us a lift later to the restaurant where the group was having lunch so we could rejoin the coach.
If you're ever looking for a hotel in the area, I'd definitely recommend this one!
