The city of Krestaina is built circularly in fully planted elevations of Olympia's province. It is 20 km away from Pyrgos city (the capital of Ilia prefecture). Krestaina is surrounded by mansions such as Papalexi Villa on the East side of the city. The mansion was built by Tsiller in 1891 as a house for Nikos Papalexis.
A turnoff on the central road of Krestaina leads to Ancient Olympia which thousands of visitors come to admire while staying in the nearby hotels. Starting from the beach of Samikos in Krestaina, a visit in Samia's Acropolis is strongly suggested.
