Ancient Olympia & Kourouta Beach - All Included Tour

Katie_V, Aug 2026

Amazing!!

Great tour! Best way to hit both things we wanted to do for a reasonable price. Tonya, our tour guide, was amazing! She brought us to a great café on the beach, where we had chairs, umbrellas, and we were able to order great food. She also shared her recipe for Tzatziki sauce! I’d definitely recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was great...

Our tour guide was great and the tour itself was very organized, and well planned. We spent just enough time in Olympia on a very hot day, and we loved our time at the beach. I would recommend this tour over a tour offered by the cruise lines.

Katakolon, Olympia site and beach

We had an amazing experience. Our driver and tour guide were great. We visited Olympia archeological site. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Ancient Greek history and the site where the original Olympics took place. We stopped at an olive oil shop and tasted numerous types and flavors of olive oil. Then a private driver whisked us off to the beach. It was a great day in Olympia! I would definitely recommend this tour. There was a little walking involved but not overly strenuous.

Guided tour and beach day was perfect!

The ancient Olympia tour was guided and was filled with a lot of historical facts. We took photos during the tour because our “free-time” after the guided tour was only -10 mins, which was not very long to go back and photo everything on the grounds. Afterwards, we went to a beach that was beautiful. There were comfortable lounge chairs to relax and order drinks & food (fees not included with tour but priced fair). The drinks were delicious! The water was refreshing and clear. The sand did have some small pebbles, so I recommend wearing swim shoes in the water. Overall, it was a great tour and I highly recommend it. Our tour guide was very nice. She gave us the “secret recipes” for making traditional Greek tzatziki and lemon oil dressing.

Great tour guide and great tour!

We had a great tour with Costos! The tour company was organized and it was easy to find them at the meeting spot. Our guide was super friendly and professional. He took us to the historical site and then took us to a great restaurant for lunch and beach. Our guide at Olympia was great too-Helena. It was a great day!

Excellent Tour

Excellent tour! Meeting point came with very clear directions. Small group transportation was clean and comfortable with safe driving. Despina provided great information on the way to Olympia. She was especially good with our kids, even though the trip was for all ages. Maria did a great job leading us through the Olympic site. The small group was a big benefit over the large tour groups at the site. The beach visit after came with reserved seating at no additional cost and was a great way to relax after visiting the ruins. Overall a great tour and excellent value especially compared to the cruise ship excursions.

Ancient Olympia and Beach

Our tour guide Michael at ancient Olympia was five star fantastic! So knowledgeable and kind! It was a pleasure and would do a longer tour knowing he was our guide!! The beach was beautiful but because our tour was in the afternoon we did not get there till 4pm. Still, there was shade and area to eat and drink. If you book on a summer Sunday, know the locals will be there in full force as they have free access to that beach. Still a lovely time

Great tour and wonderful beach

This small group tour was wonderful. The guide at Olympia was a very interesting expert who brought a lot of value to our short time together. Our driver was friendly and helpful. The beach was beautiful and had free lounge chairs, umbrellas, a couple of restaurants, and a place to change. We had a relaxing and fulfilling day.
