Symposio Taverna
Συμπόσιο
A family-run taverna on a lane off the main street, praised by visitors for grandmother's moussaka and good value.
Located at 2 Aimiliou Kountse Street in the village of Ancient Olympia, just off the main street. Run by the owner and his sons, it sits in a lane quieter than the main street. The signature is grandmother's moussaka. Chicken gyros and lamb ribs served with hand-cut fries are also frequently mentioned, and a honey yoghurt is often served after the meal. Prices are about EUR 10-15 per person; a 2026 diner said prices were roughly half those of main-street restaurants. The owners say it is open every day of the year, and it is a walk from the archaeological site.
Opening hours
Open every day of the year; approx. 10:00-23:45. The owners say it opens in the afternoon, so opening times may vary
