Municipality of Ancient Olympia
Commercial and agricultural municipality without major changes: almost as many opened as closed in a year. For its 11,153 residents it has few: clothing, car repair shops.
This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΗ Αρχαία Ολυμπία είναι ένας πολύ ήσυχος τόπος με εμπορικό και αγροτικό χαρακτήρα, όπου ξεχωρίζουν τα σουβενίρ και η λαϊκή τέχνη, οι καλλιέργειες και τα μίνι μάρκετ, ενώ οι επιχειρήσεις είναι λιγότερες απ’ ό,τι συνήθως στην περιοχή. Σπανίζουν τα καταστήματα ένδυσης, τα συνεργεία, τα φροντιστήρια και τα κομμωτήρια, ενώ η πιο ζωντανή κίνηση φαίνεται στην επισκευή και εγκατάσταση μηχανημάτων.
