Drive for 45 minutes from Katakolon to Olympia with on board commentary from your guide. Upon arriving to Olympia enjoy a guided tour of the archaeological site and museum with an officially licensed English speaking tour guide. Then you will have free time to explore the modern town of Olympia before returning back to the port. We always make sure you will return to the port before "all aboard" time.
