Easy Katakolo port transfer to Ancient Olympia, with 3 hours to explore key ruins and Olympic sites on your own.

“If you’d like to visit Olympia on your own from the port, this is the most affordable option. The ride was very pleasant, and our guide shared plenty of information along the way. He even walked us to the entrance of Olympia before we continued the tour independently. Later, I spoke with another passenger from the same cruise who had booked through the ship. He mentioned that his guide’s heavy English accent made it difficult to understand, so his experience wasn’t much different from mine—except my trip cost $200 less.

5.Olympia Tour and Archeological Museum

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 57 reviews · 1 - 4 hours · from $129

Cruise from Katakolo to Ancient Olympia and its museum, with guided ruins, Temple of Zeus sights, and included entry for $129.

“Our guide, Chris, was great at making sure everything ran smoothly. The tour guide, Maria, did an excellent job explaining the site to us. I appreciated that they were flexible enough to change things around so we wouldn’t be at the archeological site when it was busier. It would be helpful to have a pre advertised meeting location. However, when I emailed about the issue, I received an excellent prompt response. I would also like it if the site guide would use a microphone and speakers. Overall, great tour!”
