Katakolon (Olympia)

Stepping off your ship, you will find a quiet, sun-drenched seaside village that serves as the gateway to ancient history. While the port itself is a modest, sleepy harbor, a short 30-minute drive inland transports you to the legendary ruins of Ancient Olympia, where the birthplace of the Olympic Games awaits. Expect a relaxed, Mediterranean atmosphere where the primary goal is exploring monumental archaeological sites before returning to the coast for a peaceful seaside lunch.
