Halvdags privat tur fra Katakolon til Olympia & Beach
Beskrivelse
Når din cruise stopper i den maleriske havn Katakolon, et besøg i Ancient Olympia er et must. Med en privat chauffør kan du rejse komfortabelt fra fiskerlandsbyen til fødestedet for de olympiske lege – det hellige område, hvor atleter træner, ærer guderne og konkurrerer i begivenheder, der inspirerer verden. I denne fem timers tur, udforske den arkæologiske site og dens ikoniske monumenter, herunder Zeus tempel, Hera tempel, og den gamle olympiske stadion. Fortsæt til det arkæologiske museum i Olympia, hvor mesterværker som Hermes af Praxiteles, Nike af Paionios og tempelskulpturer venter. Efterfølgende kan du nyde fritiden i den moderne by Olympia for at shoppe, gå rundt i de charmerende gader eller slappe af i vores egen centralt beliggende restaurant og café bar. Før du vender tilbage, skal du stoppe ved den idylliske strand af Agios Andreas for et forfriskende bad eller et øjeblik ved havet. En unik blanding af historie, kultur og afslapning.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Ved ankomst til Katakolon Port, bliver du hentet fra stedet og på det aftalte tidspunkt. Vi vil være der og holde et skilt med dit navn tydeligt skrevet på, så det er nemmere for dig at genkende os. Bagefter vil du nyde sikker og komfortabel transport i vores luksuriøse Mercedes-køretøjer. Under din overførsel kan du nyde en gratis wi-fi om bord, men vi vil også give dig en lokal guidebog med alle de nødvendige oplysninger om det arkæologiske sted & Museum of Ancient Olympia, gratis. Varigheden af overførslen er omkring 30 min.
Efter en ca. 30 min fornøjelig tur vil du nå Ancient Olympia. Vi afleverer dig lige uden for det verdensberømte arkæologiske område i det gamle Olympia. Nyd flere timers fritid til at udforske stedet og monumenter i dit eget tempo (*den professionelle licenserede guide kan arrangeres mod ekstra gebyr, hvis det bliver anmodet om det). Se gymnastiksalen og Palaestra, hvor atleter øvede sig op til konkurrencen, og mærk årtusinder af energi, når du træder ind på det antikke stadion, hvor det antikke Grækenlands fineste atleter stræbte efter at ære guderne gennem det olympiske ideal. Forundre Zeus-templet, hvor den berømte gyldne statue af guden - et af de syv vidundere i den antikke verden - engang stod. Se Leonidaion, et hotel bygget i 330 f.Kr. for at være vært for fornemme gæster ved legene, og dyk endnu dybere ned i historien om verdens største atletiske konkurrence med udstillinger og originale artefakter på Olympia Museum.
Det arkæologiske museum i Olympia, et af de vigtigste museer i Grækenland, præsenterer den lange historie om antikkens mest berømte helligdom, Zeus' helligdom, fader til både guder og mennesker, hvor de olympiske lege blev født. Museets permanente udstilling rummer fund fra udgravningerne i Altis' hellige område fra forhistorisk tid til den tidlige kristne periode.
Nyd næsten 1 times fritid i den moderne by Olympia. Besøg markedsgader kaldet også "agora", hvor du kan finde forskellige souvenirbutikker med læder og keramik, modetøjsbutikker samt smykkebutikker. Bagefter kan du nyde græsk gæstfrihed i en lokal taverna eller cafe.
På vej tilbage til Katakolo tager du mod dit sidste forfriskende stop til Agios Andreas Strand. Vi ankommer til Agios Andreas efter ca. 30 min kørsel. Agios Andreas er en smuk klippestrand, et sted med enestående naturlig skønhed, da det var den gamle havn i Ileia. Du får tildelt ca. 1 time fritid til at tilbringe på stranden, hvor du kan få kaffe, frokost, tage billeder eller tage en svømmetur.
Efter ca. 5 timer er tid til at vende tilbage til Katakolon havn. Føl dig godt tilpas ved sæderne i vores luksuriøse køretøjer og kom tilbage til dit krydstogtskib fuld af uforglemmelige minder

Great tour and great service! They picked us up right at the cruise port and drove us to the ruins. I was so pleasantly surprised by nice the ruins and museum were. After we went to the sites, our guide recommended a restaurant for lunch that was delicious and exactly what we were hoping to eat in Greece. Lastly, the beach we went to for swimming was gorgeous! Stunning fish swimming all over and beautiful scenery. We loved it all! Overall, an excellent day.
This was an exceptional experience. Our driver Paris was amazing. Outstanding recommendations for lunch, we did an olive tour that was incredible, the museum and archaeological site was wonderful and the shoppes before you enter the archaeological museum were fantastic, olive oil and local honey to taste, beautiful dresses and items and reasonable prices. A wonderful day!
Our private tour was perfect for our family. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and a great driver. We got to see everything we wanted plus more. We loved walking around Olympia. Our driver had some great recommendations for food and we loved our meal. The beach was very relaxing! Perfect day!
Excellent half-day from Katakolon — exactly what we needed. We were a group of six, ranging from grandparents to kids, and this private tour handled that range perfectly. Our driver met us right where he said he would at the port, sign in hand, and the van was clean, comfortable and properly air-conditioned, which mattered in the August heat. The real value was the guide. Ancient Olympia gets crowded when the ships come in, and he got us past the lines and straight into the site. He knew how to pace things so the older members of our group weren't rushed and the kids stayed interested — no small feat at an archaeological site. Everything ran on time and we were back at the ship with plenty of buffer, which is the thing you actually worry about on a cruise stop. Highly recommended if you're coming off a ship at Katakolon and want to see Olympia properly without the stress.
We had a wonderful day exploring Olympia with Nasos! He was an excellent driver and guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. We really enjoyed the tour and appreciated all of his recommendations, especially the fantastic lunch spot he suggested. We ended the day at a beautiful beach, which was the perfect way to relax after sightseeing. Nasos made the whole experience easy, enjoyable, and memorable. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone visiting Olympia!
This was a great tour. The transportation was a private bus and the guide who traveled with us was wonderful. We arranged for a guide for Olympis which is needed to truly understand the history. We had a wonderful lunch in town with fun shopping. Would highly recommend.
Our driver met us outside the pier in a comfortable vehicle and we had a pleasant ride to Olympia. We opted for a guide in Olympia; Domi was excellent and found places in the shade to sit while she spoke. We were then taken to an authentic Greek restaurant in the nearby town; inexpensive and delicious. We were brought back to the pier in plenty of time before departure.
Highly knowledgeable and very helpful. Helen was professional, kind and accommodating ! Gave many details and was very familiar with the area
Very nice experience with our guide Kostantinos, whom I highly recommend. Available, flexible, and kind.
Paris was so great. Explained everything so great, directed us exactly where to go. We did the olympia sites, lunch in town, and then we went to an olive oil factory.
