Top Olympia Full-day Tours

Make the most of your time onshore on this group half-day tour from Katakolon port to Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Walk the original stadium and explore temples where the Olympic flame is lit. Enjoy a local beekeeper's stories and homemade sweets at a family-run farm, then sample olives, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar at an indoor market. Comfortable transport and a guide enhance this cultural experience, while entrance fees are at your own expense.

If you’ve only got a day in Katakolon, this Shore Excursion is a great choice. You won’t waste time organizing transport as port pickup and drop-off is included. Enjoy the convenience of having a full itinerary planned out for you and a guarantee to skip-the-line at attractions. You’ll see the Olympia site and museum, a winery, and St. Andrew Beach.

Avoid crowded group tours and make the most of your limited time in Olympia with this private experience from Katakolo. Explore the iconic archaeological site, home of the first Olympic Games and the former Statue of Zeus, at a relaxed pace, then balance history with a visit to Kremasti Monastery and a quiet beach stop. It’s a seamless way to combine culture, scenery, and downtime without the rush.

Walking Ancient Olympia's ruins on your own, it's hard to picture how the sanctuary once looked. Explore the UNESCO World Heritage-listed site with a VR headset instead, which rebuilds the temples and stadium over the ruins as you move through them. An audio guide covers the Temple of Zeus and the stadium at your own pace, so you get the site's history alongside what's in front of you.
