Private Excursion to Ancient Olympia - bee farm & winery

Upon arrival to Katakolo, you will find our office in the port of Katakolo in a very convinient location. Our driver will be waiting outside of the office with a sign of your name. Transfer to our private vehicle and enjoy the ride to Ancient Olympia. Feel free to ask our driver for whatever assistance needed.

Once you arrive you will be able to take a tour into the ruins of the archaeological site and let your soul relax in mystic nature. There you can visit the place where the Olympic Flame is ignited every four years for the modern Olympic Games and discover the temple of Zeus, once the home of one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world

Explore the archaeological museum to see significant artifacts from the site.

Our driver will pick you up and make a stop in the modern town of Olympia so you can take a stroll through if you want. You can find small shops with souvenirs and local products. You can have a snack or drink a greek coffee.

We suggest a stop at the winery, always according to your desires. Tour to the vineyards in order to learn about the different varieties as well as the cultivation of those. The tour continues in the area of production and standardization where you can have the opportunity to become acquainted with a modern Family Winery which produces superior quality and reliable products. And finally wine tasting. Taste of four wines paired with a snack.

We also suggest a stop at the honey farm. Your visit to our farm will offer you Greek hospitality; a cool and refreshing break from the modern village of Olympia and off-the-beaten track into a garden filled with fruit trees and vegetables. Sample the variety of spoon sweets and jams made from the fruit on the farm and preserved by the housekeepers as an age old tradition; recipes which have been passed on from mother to daughter for centuries. Top off your visit with “diples”, a traditional sweet with honey. Mrs Roula, herself, will prepare them before you as she unfolds the dough and the secrets of this mouth-watering dessert. Honey and bee products which have followed man through history have been and are used for nutrition, medicine and cosmetics. Discover how the beehive produces royal jelly, wax and venom. Also, how the bee collects nectar, pollen and propolis.

Finally our driver will transfer you back to Katakolo port, always on time and always with the best interest to serve you. The private vehicle will always be nearby to facilitate your transfer.
