Itinerary
The sanctuary of Olympia extends over a bewitching landscape lying at the feet of the Kronius Hill. This made it an ideal location for the Olympic Games which were held every four years to honour Zeus. Once you are there, you will visit the temple of Zeus which housed one of the seven wonders of the world and the temple of Hera where the Olympic torch is lit. Exploration in Olympia site will be on your own (Licensed guide within Olympia site is not included in the tour price and is available upon request with additional fee - In case it is needed please contact us prior the booking)
The Archaeological Museum displays world known works of ancient art and exhibits from the Classical Period, the famous pediments from the temple of Zeus, Nike of Paionios and Hermes of Praxiteles.
Just a breath away from the museum and the ruins in Olympia, you can meet Klio and her mother on her farm. Klio will welcome you with a platter of seasonal fruits, fresh juice and coffee, into a garden filled with fruit trees and vegetables. Through the presentation of beekeeping tools, you will be introduced to the life of bees from ancient times until today. Top off your visit with “diples”, a traditional sweet with honey,
Agriturismo Magna Grecia has been created in 2009 by Dimitri Karabelas and Franca Magrini. Visitors of Ancient Olympia have now the opportunity to experience the authentic flavors of the Greek land tasting the extra-virgin olive oil, olives and wines that the family produces. Their goal is to make sure the guests of Magna Grecia experience unique moments while visiting their pharm.
Saint Andrew beach is very close to the Katakolon port, it’s located behind the hill of Katakolon and it’s only 4 km away. The beach with thick sand and rocks during the summer is full of life. It’s got a magnificent view of the sea. There is also a cafe and a traditional restaurant where someone can enjoy coffee or meal.

We did the 7 hour Katakolon / Olympia tour in July 2026. It was very hot! But we had a great day! Everything was seamless with Dora and we appreciated her nice air conditioned Mercedes van. From the archaeological site and lovely museum, to the honey farm, an olive oil tasting, lunch and the beach, we had a wonderful time.
Dora was amazing! She was very accommodating with our group and the changes to the port schedule! The tour itself was very informative and a delight to see after other cruise ports in Greece. Our group of 17 really enjoyed our day!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure hosting your wonderful group.

Dora was fantastic to work with as I was planning a large group with 17 people. She was very accommodating when our cruise ship changed the times we were in port. She was very informative and gave lots of interesting details prior to our visit to the ruins. We thoroughly enjoyed the Honey Farm and the Olive Oil Farm. I would highly recommend this tour.

Fantastic experience. Joanna was our tour leader, and she accommodated our every request across all of the different events, even getting us a personal guide at the last moment for Olympia. We had less time than we expected, so we didn't get to do all of the events, but Joanna worked with us to ensure we did all the things we wanted and spent the time we had on what we preferred. Fantastic experience all around.

We spent a great day with Dora learning about the Katakolon area. Everything was easy about the pickup and activities. We really enjoyed the honey farm and Olympic ruins. So much better than the large groups on the cruise ship sponsored tours. It was actually just our group of four with Dora for the entire day. Thanks Dora
