Half-Day Private Tour from Katakolon to Olympia & Beach
Relaxing, informative, and fun
Christos was an excellent guide for our time in Katakolon, Ancient Olympia, the Olive Temple, and Vrinoitis Beach. Christos was very flexible and helpful in finding activities that worked for our group. We were given the option of having coffee and snacks or lunch in Olympia, but Christos gave us options for additional tours of olive mills and wineries. When we decided to go to the olive mill, Christos arranged us for a tour and lunch that has been one of the highlights of our trip. We finished our time with drinks and a swim at the Vrinoitis Resort. During our drive time, we had great conversation with Christos that educated us on the people of the region and Greece. Our time really highlighted the beauty and close-knit group of this community.

Half-Day Ancient Olympia VR Audio Tour from Katakolo Cruise Port
Gets you to Ancient Olympia and pointed in right direction.
Very well organized getting us loaded on bus, sharing interesting information on the bus ride and pointing everyone in the right directions once we arrived at Olympia. The rest was self guided and we enjoyed at our leisure. The VR portion is on your own device. They do not supply headsets so bring your own. The VR was kinda confusing but also interesting once you get it sorted. I used it - my husband skipped it after trying it out but not thinking it was very useful. Might be worth hiring a guided tour depending how immersive of an experience you want. We enjoyed self guided, reading signage in museum and Ancient Olympia.
