We booked separate tour to avoid the crowded bus from our cruise group and it was great. Andreas met us at the port and we were on the road before the cruise bus was even loaded! We enjoyed walking through the museum exhibits before the crowds showed up and then walked the site. Andreas provided a helpful additional book as reference as we made our way around the site. It was hot, bring water. We did a bit of shopping and got gelato in Olympia before he drove us right back to the ship. Highly recommend this for the convenience and avoiding the crowds.

We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Olympia. Nassos personally showed us the lay of the land, allowed us to self-guide through the grounds and the museum, and arranged to meet us afterwards at his restaurant. The food was delicious and service impeccable. Nassos runs the transportation service, the restaurant, and farms an olive grove. In spite of all that he was very attentive and we felt very supported.

Our guide Chris was very friendly and informative about Greece and the area. Our cooking class & lunch at a home at an olive farm was casual, outdoor and lovely. Maria was a fun host. We could have sat there all day. Tour of Olympus was fascinating. Thanks for a great day Chris!

The cooking class was wonderful and delicious. They bring you back for lunch so you are stuffed ! It in a good way. Olympic village was a very interesting experience, a travel through time.
We enjoyed the olive grove tour as well. Very informative. The man there was crude in his dialogue though.

This was an amazing experience! We were picked up at the port and taken right to Olympia where we did the cooking class in a family restaurant. It was so fun and delicious! Then we went to the ancient Olympia site where a guide took us around the grounds and through the museum. After that, we stopped by an olive oil farm where we tasted several oils and were able to purchase them to take home. Finally, we had free time at a beach where we walked, swam and grabbed some drinks. This was one of the best tours my friends and family have ever taken. We would suggest 100 times over! Thank you for a great, authentic experience! We will remember this day for years to come.

What to expect
If you’re looking for an affordable and reliable way to explore Ancient Olympia — the birthplace of the Olympic Games — this shared tour from Katakolon Port is the perfect choice. Designed especially for cruise passengers and small groups, it combines comfort, culture, and authentic Greek experiences, all with a worry-free return to ship guarantee.
Begin your journey with a warm welcome from our professional team at Katakolon Port. Relax in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle — car, minivan, or bus depending on your group size — and enjoy free Wi-Fi and bottled water as you travel through the scenic Peloponnesian countryside toward Olympia.
Upon arrival, meet your licensed tour guide, officially certified by the Greek Ministry of Tourism, who will bring the ancient world to life during an inspiring guided tour of the Archaeological Site and the world-famous Archaeological Museum of Olympia. Stroll through the ruins of temples, gymnasiums, and the legendary stadium where athletes once competed, and admire masterpieces like the Hermes of Praxiteles and the Nike of Paionios.
After your cultural exploration, continue to a beautiful private olive grove owned by your local host, Nassos — the same trusted partner who has arranged your transportation from Katakolon Port. Here, you’ll learn about the centuries-old art of olive cultivation — a cornerstone of Greek tradition. During an authentic olive oil tasting experience, you’ll sample premium extra virgin olive oil produced directly from Nassos’ family estate and discover the distinctive flavors that define true Greek quality.
Immediately following your visit to the olive grove, the experience continues at Nassos’ own traditional restaurant.There, you will take part in a delightful hands-on Greek cooking class led by Nassos’ family — specifically by his sister and his mother — who will warmly welcome you and guide you step by step through the preparation of authentic traditional Greek recipes, sharing their family secrets and generations-old culinary traditions.Using fresh, seasonal ingredients and olive oil from the grove you just visited, you’ll prepare classic Greek dishes step by step. This intimate farm-to-table experience allows you to connect directly with local traditions, as everything — from the olive trees to the kitchen — belongs to the same family.
After cooking, sit down and enjoy the delicious meal you’ve prepared in a relaxed countryside setting, surrounded by nature and warm Greek hospitality.
Before returning to Katakolon, enjoy some free time in the modern town of Olympia to explore local shops.
Finally, unwind at Saint Andrew’s Beach, a hidden coastal gem loved by locals for its peaceful setting and crystal-clear waters. Take a refreshing swim or simply relax by the sea, soaking in the tranquil beauty of the Ionian coast before heading back to the port.
Throughout the day, your experienced driver ensures your comfort, safety, and punctual return to your cruise ship.
