DESCRIPTION
On this Taxi Katakolon tour, you will visit all the must-sees of Katakolon. Upon arrival, transfer in our comfy private vehicle from Katakolon port to the ancient site of Olympia.
There, wander through the place where the ancient athletes lived, trained, offered sacrifices to gods and competed. Thus, witness the splendor of the ancient city and absorb the wisdom of the ancient Greeks at iconic ruins. Moreover, discover the place where the Olympic Flame is ignited every four years for the modern Olympic Games. Step back in history at this stadium, run and follow the footsteps of the first athletes. Don’t miss out on taking your own pictures on the marble starting line extant up to this day.
At this point our Taxi Katakolon tour continues to the museum. Here, join us 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. Besides, wine lovers may want to take an optional excursion to a local winery and sip on the varieties of wine produced there. However, if you choose to swim in turquoise blue waters, the beach is organized and you can relax and enjoy a beverage or Greek nibbles. At the end of the day, make your way safely back to Katakolon port.

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!!
