5Best Tour Guide in Olympia
A+ tour and tour guide, Stathis! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating our private tour of four. Flexible and stress free. I highly recommend if you want an excellent time in Olympia.
5Great Time at Katakolon
Very historical Visit to family winery was highlight. Meeting and connecting with Father, mother and daughter was delightful!
5Stathis’ Excursion
You should see if u can ask for Stathis for this excursion. Not only was he warm and friendly but he took great care of us and made our trip . He took us to a family owned winery and an olive oil factory besides taking us to Olympia and taking care of us every step of the way . I forgot about the beautiful beach we went to with Greek beer waiting for us . This excursion was well worth the money .
5Best way to spend 1 day at Katakolon!!
Our tour guide, Charis, was very accommodating and knowledgeable. He provided clear instructions on where to be picked up at the port and made sure we got back on time. We never felt rushed on our tour and even though the main purpose of the tour was to visit Olympia, stopping at the local winery and beach made our visit even better. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you only have 1 day to vist.
5Amazing!!! Request Stathis!!
The Best!!!!!! Wow!!! is all I can say. We had booked all previous excursions through our cruise ship. We took a chance and booked this one. And we will never regret it. Stathis was phenomenal. He took such amazing care of us. Customizing our trip to suit our needs and wants. His knowledge and recommendations were top notch. Olympia The most amazing winery Beautiful stop at a hotel on the Mediterranean Sea with superb beer and appetizer options. We felt safe and had an absolute blast If you book this trip, YOU must request Stathis.
5This was our favourite...
This was our favourite tour! Nikos was an excellent guide helping us get the most out of our tour of Olympia. The visit to the Drouva Winery was a trip highlight. This is a small family run boutique winery with two plates of delicious Greek bites prepared by the mother. We had a table by ourselves and loved every minute of this experience. Highly recommend to everyone!

About Olympia
Olympia is a quiet village in the western Peloponnese, grown around the ancient sanctuary of Zeus where the first Olympic Games were held.
Olympia lies in a green valley where the rivers Alfeios and Kladeos meet, in the western Peloponnese. For well over a thousand years, beginning in the eighth century BC, the sanctuary hosted games in honour of Zeus every four years. The ruins include the Temple of Zeus, once home to a gold-and-ivory statue of the god by Phidias, famed across the classical world; the Temple of Hera; and the original stadium, entered through a vaulted tunnel.
