Overview

Join our small group shore excursion from the port of Katakolon with our fully air-conditioned vehicle (minibus or coach) with skip-the-line tickets included. Drive for 45 minutes from Katakolon to Olympia with on board commentary from your guide. Upon arriving to Olympia enjoy a guided tour of the archaeological site and museum with an officially licensed English speaking tour guide. Then you will have free time to explore the modern town of Olympia before returning back to the port. We always make sure you will return to the port before "all aboard" time.

The starting time of the tour is subject to the cruise ship's arrival time. If the ship for example arrives at 09:00, the tour will start at 09:30 instead of 08:30.
