Olympia, en fristad i det antika Grekland i Elis på Peloponnesos halvön, är känd för att vara värd för de olympiska spelen i klassisk tid. Följ med oss och återupplev förundran och spänningen från de ursprungliga olympiska spelen, som hölls från 776 f.Kr. till 393 e.Kr. när du utforskar ruinerna av de stora monumenten. Gå in på den berömda arkeologiska platsen Olympia och förundras över Heras tempel, framför vilken den olympiska lågan brinner under dagens olympiska spel. Se Zeustemplet, som en gång inhyste Zeus staty av gyllene och elfenben (ett av den antika världens sju underverk) och den ursprungliga Stadium och Bouleuterion, monument olik alla andra, där en gång konkurrenter svor en ed att följa reglerna . Vi bor på Ancient Olympia 3 timmar då du kan besöka de arkeologiska platserna och den moderna byn Olympia för shopping, souvenirer, lunch och snacks.
Sedan går vi tillbaka till byn Katakolo (60 minuters resa tillbaka) där du kan promenera runt den pittoreska lilla hamnen, simma på den närliggande stranden, shoppa i de lokala butikerna eller gå direkt tillbaka till kryssningsfartyget.

The organisation at the beginning of the transfer was a bit chaotic! The meeting point location was not clear enough. There were about 100 people on 3 coaches and we all had to wait untill we were all ready to depart the meetoing pount. It would have been better if we had been allocated a coach from the start and just been told to go to it individually! Other than that it was well run and the staff were great!
It was my understanding when booking that for our large group it would be a private mini bus. Instead we were pilled in to a bus with a bunch of people. Like 80 people in a bus. Our group was split between two busses. Very disappointing.
Very good round-trip transport to Olympia. Everything went perfectly. Everything was very well organized. Thank you
Great value for money.. was expecting a quiet day but, ended up on this historical day tour amongst the Olympic site.
The tour operator provides comfortable bus transportation from near the cruise port to and from the Olympia historic site. We were given a helpful orientation talk on the ride out, which takes about 30 minutes, and then we were walked over to the museum, where you buy tickets. After that, you are on your own until you have to make your way back to the drop off/pick up site. We went out there with a Rick Steves guidebook and read our way thought that as we toured the ruins and that worked well for us. The museum is very interesting, providing context for the tour of the ruins. All in all, it was a great day even though it was very hot.
It was great! Our guide, George was so kind and very helpful
Straightforward, reliable transportation from Katakolo cruise port to the town and ruins of Olympia and back. Friendly, knowledgeable guide and commentary during the ride.
Absolutely perfect , really smooth and genuinely original. I’d definitely use them again if needed
Everything excellent, the guide, the driver, the bus, the time allotted. The kindness, the location. Everything was an incredible experience.
The meeting location was easy to locate from the cruise port exit. The line to get checked in was very long so you may want to arrive early. We arrived about 10 minutes before. Before we were able to reach the desk, one of the tour operators told everyone to follow him to the buses and we were loaded on the buses. The bus was comfortable but the AC could have been stronger because it felt a little warm in the bus. The drive from the port to Olympia was about 35-40 minutes. We departed the bus and walked to the archeological site and museum. It is 20 euros per person to enter the archeological site and museum. The wait time was maybe 20 minutes to enter the museum. The museum is fascinating and the archeological site is better than I expected. The archeological site is large and we did not walk all of it because of the heat. There are free restrooms at the museum and they are nice. There are also several places to purchase food and drinks. I saw buildings in the archeological site that may have been restrooms but I did not check them out. The meeting point to return to the port was well defined but with 5 buses, it was quite chaotic getting onto a bus. All in all, I’d recommend this experience for the price.
