DESCRIPTION

Upon arrival, transfer in our comfy vehicle from Katakolon port to the ancient site of Olympia.

Then, wander through the place where the ancient athletes lived, trained, offered sacrifices to gods and competed. Witness the splendor of the ancient city absorbing the wisdom of the ancient Greeks at iconic ruins. Next, discover the place where the Olympic Flame is ignited every four years for the modern Olympic Games. Thus, step back in history at this stadium, run and follow the footsteps of the first athletes. To this point, take your own pictures on the marble starting line extant up to this day.

Now, our Katakolon small group tour continues to the museum. Here join our knowledgeable guide on a journey through time and discover significant ancient artifacts from the archaeological site.

Later on, take a stroll through the town of Olympia and soak up the modern flavor of the town. Wine lovers may want to take an optional excursion to a local winery and sip on the varieties of wine produced there. At the end of the day, make your way safely back to Katakolon port.

Your involvement was crucial and was the most fitting solution to the gap of us being overseas in the United States, not knowing the area or infrastructure of Greece.

I highly, highly recommend this company for your visit to Santorini. Our guide was Eugene and she was FABULOUS!

Cannot say enough about this tour and how much fun we had! We were 4 couples that have been friends for years. Our tour guide, Zoi, was so knowledgable, yet very interesting and fun. The tour ended with a "light" lunch and Zorba dancers! It was so much fun! Opa!!
