Great Time at Katakolon
Very historical Visit to family winery was highlight. Meeting and connecting with Father, mother and daughter was delightful!

Stathis’ 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 .

Best 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.

Olympia The most amazing winery Beautiful stop at a hotel on the Mediterranean Sea with superb beer and appetizer options.

This 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!

What an unexpectedly brilliant day we had at Olympia, The Olive factory and beach followed by a flawless lunch recommended by Stathis. A day and guide even our 7 and 9 year old will remember for a long time 🙏

The tour person was very...
The tour person was very nice and informed us about the area on the way to Olympia. In Olympia we walked around on our own and in the museum. It was very warm when we went and we all wanted air conditioning to keep cool. Then drove us to a resturant for lunch and after drove back to ship.
