What are people saying about Olympia

Olympia Highlights and Kourouta Beach Getaway

Lauren_M, Jul 2026

Must do excursion at Katakolon

10/10 day. Andreas met us at the cruise port and took our group of 10 to ancient Olympia. The mini bus was a very comfortable ride with great air conditioning and bottles of water. Olympia was an amazing place to see and the museum was also very impressive. Next he took us to the beach where he had reserved umbrellas for us and we swam and ate and drank for the afternoon before returning to the ship. Fantastic day despite the heat.

Our Katakolon shore...

Our Katakolon shore excursion was absolutely amazing! Panos, our driver, was truly a joy and a delight to spend the day with. From the moment we met him, he made us feel welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. He gave us excellent guidance on exploring the archaeological site and museum, sharing helpful tips that made our visit even more enjoyable. Afterward, he took us to a wonderful local winery that ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. The food was incredible, the wine was exceptional, and the hospitality was outstanding. To top it all off, Panos brought us to a beautiful private beach where we were able to relax and enjoy the stunning scenery. Every part of the day was perfectly planned, and we never felt rushed. I can’t recommend this shore excursion enough. If you’re visiting Katakolon, be sure to ask for Panos—you’ll be so glad you did! He made our day truly special and created memories our family will cherish for years to come.

A must if going to ruins.

I would say this is a must if you are going to the ruins. There is not a lot left of the ruins, so this really gave you an idea of what things looked like. There are stations that give you information, but the audio the glasses give you, I think is better.

Amazing experience!

What a great time! Our driver Nancy picked us up from port on time and communicated with us leading up to our tour as our port arrival changed. We started the tour with some of the historical sites we wanted to visit and she waited patiently for us to finish at each location. Along the way she was highly knowledgeable about the history of Olympia and made great conversation with us. She provided cold water after every stop and some local sweet treats for us to celebrate our honeymoon. She had great connections for things to do and gave us so many reasons to visit again. I could not recommend this tour enough! We will be coming back.

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.

Fantastic day in the Olympia area.

We had a fantastic day with Andreas! Pick up was very clear and the vehicle was very nice. Heprovided us with extra information at Ancient Olympia and let us decide how much time to spent. He took us to a family run olive oil farm which was very informative and it was great to learn about the local community. Then we went to a small family winery - wonderful family, good wine and snacks prepared by the owner. We really enjoyed our time there. A great day!

Highly recommend

The tour was an excellent balance of history sites and engaging activity. Our tour guide Tina was excellent; knowledgeable, funny, and kind. She was very flexible to our requests and made the whole day stress free. George was the driver and our van (specifically the AC) was great and safe. We highly recommend this tour and specifically our guide.

Olympia Shore Ex: Olympic site, Honey Farm & Olive Oil Tasting

Courtney_M, Jun 2026

If I could give this tour...

If I could give this tour 10 stars I would. This was an incredible way to experience Olympia. It's hard to say which part was our favorite because we learned so much. From the history of the Olympics, the olive oil tasting we did was so amazing (they had us wanting to buy so many bottles to bring home), but the honey farm at the end was truly a fan favorite for our group. It was like being welcomed into someones home and experience honey in a new light. We' 100% do this tour again.

As per most of the other...

As per most of the other historical tours you take you need to have a medium level of fitness to ensure you get the most out of the tour. Our guide/host Theodora had plenty of information to explain what we where viewing and answered all questions professionally. The only issue we experienced was the lack of respect shown by some of the tourists in our group towards Theodora. It was clear that they weren't prepared for the conditions of the day.

This was my favorite tour...

This was my favorite tour of our cruise. Marilena was a fantastic guide and spent her birthday with us! She gave us plenty of time at the site of the first Olympics, took us to an Olive Mill (which was incredible) and then to a private beach that was the perfect ending. Her communication and service was exceptional.
