Cruise Friendly Olympia Tour from Katakolon Port

al team, ready to guide you on an unforgettable journey. Sit back and relax in comfort as you travel through the scenic Peloponnese countryside, passing olive groves, rolling hills, and picturesque villages en route to Ancient Olympia—the legendary birthplace of the Olympic Games.

This sacred site hosted the first Olympic Games in 776 BC, and even today, the Olympic Flame is lit here before every modern Games. Wander through the Temple of Zeus, once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and visit the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic Torch begins its journey. Stroll the ancient gymnasium, athlete training grounds, and the original Olympic stadium—still echoing with the spirit of competition and once again used during the Athens 2004 Olympics. Run on the same track as ancient and modern athletes alike!

Step into galleries where history comes alive through the exquisite Hermes by Praxiteles, alongside timeless sculptures, precious artifacts, and everyday objects that reveal the rhythm of ancient life. Each display weaves together threads of mythology, athletic tradition, and divine legacy, offering a richer understanding of the world you’ve just walked through among the ruins. It’s the ideal complement to your site visit—adding depth, context, and wonder at every turn.

Enjoy your leisure time in the peaceful village of modern Olympia, home to fewer than 600 residents. Wander its cozy streets lined with local shops, family-run tavernas, and artisan boutiques, where you can savor Greek delicacies or find one-of-a-kind souvenirs to remember your visit.

With over 20 years of expertise in crafting cruise-friendly excursions, we guarantee a seamless experience with on-time return to your ship and no worries along the way. Let the stories of Olympia travel with you—memories of gods, games, and Greek charm that will stay with you long after your cruise continues
