Is it possible to see Nafplio, Mycenae, Epidavros and Olympia in one day?
I am desperately trying to keep some of this area in my plans. I would only have one day. I can see that it looks like I should be able to do Nafplio, Epidavros and Mycenae in one day but it looks like Olympia might be a stretch. Is this difficult terrain to drive? We are athletes and would love to see Olympia if possible. Suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

No! Olympia is a long drive from Nafplio and merits its own day. Mycenae and Epidavros along with the lovely city of Nafplio will be a very full day. Hopefully, you will be staying overnight in Nafplio.

Thank you thats what I wanted to know. It is difficult to tell by looking at maps and not having any idea of the terrain. So then would it be possible to drive straight to Olympia skip the other sites and stay overnight in Naplio in a day? I'm just tying to get an idea of the drive time. Thanks.

do you have a Nafplio stay recommendation?

Have you looked seriously at Guidebooks about this? The Frommers book says that it is at LEAST a 6-hour drive from Athens, and could be 8. That's one-way. If you wish to see Olympia, you have to cancel something else on your itinerary.
