Review of Olympia’s private half-day tour from Katakolon, covering ancient ruins, the museum, a family honey farm, and a Greek beach.

“We were met as we exited the ship by our tour guide Andres. Our group of 10 had a few people who were unable to walk far so Andres modified our trip. We were on our own walking through Olympia Village which we preferred. He supplied oranges and even bottles of his own olive oil! The bus was great as was our driver Hercules! Very entertaining day. Highly recommend this company!”

Review of Katakolon’s private Olympia shore excursion, with ancient ruins, family winery, beach views, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Had an amazing day with Stathis! We booked him over a cruise excursion. He picked us up right at the port in Katakolo to, in his words, “minimize our walking”. We avoided long lines at Olympia under his guidance. He then drove us to a local winery and olive oil marker. The wine was phenomenal, but the olive oil and their selections are out of this world. Magna Grecia has a multi-year record of one of the best olive oil lineups in the world by the way. He then drove us to a beautiful beach for a drip and drink. Should we be back in Katakolo and Olympia, we’ll be…”

Review of a private Olympia shore excursion from Katakolo with ruins, museum, olive oil tasting, beaches, flexible stops, and local drivers.

“It's not a guided tour per se', but Andrea is a local guy and loves his city and it shows. He told us alot about the area while driving us to the Archealogical sites. Once there you're on your own to tour museum and Olympic stadium ruins. It's much bigger than we realized. We didn't have a tour, but there are signs and we enjoyed it. I think you can get an audio tour at the museum, but we didn't, everything was labeled. Where to see a honey farm called Kilos and it was very interesting and unique. Later Andrea took us to a local seafood restaurant that was fabulous!…”
