Top-Rated Olympia Shore Excursions

Katakolon is a small harbor village on the western Peloponnese whose main role for cruise passengers is as the gateway to Ancient Olympia, about 40 minutes inland. Guides lead you through the sanctuary of Zeus, the workshop of the sculptor Phidias and the tunnel into the original stadium, with time for the site museum.
