Shopping

Galerie Orphee, Antonios Kosmopoulos's shop on the main street in Ancient Olympia (tel. 26240/23-555), has a wide selection of books, an extensive range of cassettes and CDs of Greek music, plus frequent displays of contemporary art. What a pleasant contrast to Olympia's other shops, which have all too many T-shirts, museum reproductions, and machine-made rugs and embroideries sold as "genuine handmade crafts."
