This small group half-day tour from the port of Katakolon will take you to ancient Olympia, the playground of the Gods and heroes of Greek mythology and where the Olympic flame is lit for each Olympiad.
This blessed land is home to one of the finest agricultural produce in the country, the olive oil. Discover the products of the olive tree, the symbol of immortality and wisdom on a free olive oil and wine tasting experience at a local market.
Then, go off-the-beaten-path into a farm filled with fruit trees and vegetables and find Greek hospitality. Learn all about the circle of life of the bees by a local bee keeper and taste local delicacies accompanied with local artisan's honey.
Finally, spend some time at the village of Katakolon for shopping and lunch by the sea front.

A wonderful experience visiting the Olympic site, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would also highly recommend visiting the Klios Honey Farm. It was an Authentic and quaint Family owned business passed down from 3 generations. The olive oil tasting was a great place to Stop & Shop.

Such a great time to go to Olympia during an Olympic year! Seeing the museum first and then the tour of Olympia is highly recommended as it helps to picture the place and understand the history and meaning. We really enjoyed the bee farm also and the honey was extra delicious!

This was an amazing tour. Our guide held together a very diverse group of people with many questions. The archeological ruins were spectacular. The most special part of the trip was the visit to the honey bee farm where the owner was knowledgeable and open about honey bee farming, something many of us never think about. It was also good to move from place to place in a comfortable van to see the Katakolon area. The olive oil tasting was good and offered opportunity for shopping. The tour is long, so be sure you have enough time to take the tour. We were rushing back to the boat, but it was worth it. We seemed to have a better experience than those who merely did the park with a larger tour.

Despina was fabulous in connecting us with a small group tour, all passengers from our cruise. She was so helpful with pre-arrival planning and communication. Our guide at ancient Olympia was informative and very pleasant. The stop at the Olive Oil shop was delightful. We highly recommend The Travel Insiders for your Katakolon/Ancient Olympia touring.

Absolutely lovely day. The stop at Olympia Honey Farm is very charming. It is a local home where you are served coffee and wonderful traditional delicacy. The location is beautiful and you learn about honey farming from a family who has been doing this for generations. The olive oil stop is fun as you taste multiple types of oil and balsanic vinegar. A fun easy day with lovely people. Definitely recommend.

This tour was great. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything we were supposed to on this tour. The honey farm was really unique. The honey was so good. The olive oil tasting was great. We even got to taste different olives, not just the olive oil. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Not at all worth the money. Waisted most of our day. Brought us to a gift shop for our olive oil tasting. Felt like a tourist trap

This tour was amazing. We had an excellent "escort" who was very friendly and knowledgeable. There were just 8 in our group, so we had very personal service. The tour of Olympia was so interesting, and the stop for olive oil and wine tasting was in a nice shop with very reasonable prices for souvenirs.
