I came to Olinto from Marrakech, so can't speak to driving there from amywhere else.
The road from the MRK to the Atlas Mtns is indeed steep and quite wind-y.
However, i wouldn't call it particularly 'rugged'. It's all paved. (At least it was about a month before the earthquake, when we visited).
In fact, I think driving around the Amalfi Coast or the Hollywood Hills can be much 'hairier', more nail biting.
Still, even as i've driven myself in both of those other locations while on holiday, i chose to be driven (via Olinto's transport service) from the airport to Olinto, simply because it's exotic/unknown.
I would recommend you do the same!
