Itinerary

  • Archaeological Site of Olympia

    Olympia was the birthplace of the most famous and important sporting event in the ancient world. The Olympic Games took place here every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD. The site was also a place of worship dedicated to the Greek god Zeus from about the 10th century BC. Here you will find incredible sculptures such as the decoration of the temple of Zeus, as well as the famous Hermes of Praxiteles and the statue of Nike of Paionios.

Relaxing and educational tour

Published on Sep, 2024

The tour is historic and relaxing. We started on the beach and the Ionian ocean was refreshing. The beach set up and facilities were perfect and the service was excellent. The tour of Olympia was educational, short enough to understand and absorb the information. The bus ride was comfortable and timely. Our tour guide Christop was patient, accommodating and very helpful. Great tour to get a small flavor of this part of Greece.

A tour not to be missed

Published on Sep, 2024

An outstanding tour guide who provided a perspective on Olympia and the history of the Olympics. Our tour guide provided an insight to the basis of the games which will help me understand the traditions upon which the games were founded. The beaches that we were taken to were outstanding and served as a wonderful backdrop for a spectacular day.

Tour of Olympia and Kourota beach was fantastic

Published on Sep, 2024

Kristos was absolutely amazing. Very friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend him to anyone. Maria was my favorite site guide of our entire trip. She was the perfect guide for Olympia.

Amazing day with Avalon Travel!

Published on Sep, 2024

We arrived at Katakolon Port with Royal Caribbean. Right after booking, we received a detailed email outlining the meeting process, which was a great first impression. Pickup at the port was seamless, and the 45-minute drive to Olympia was comfortable. Upon arrival, our guide was already waiting for us, ready to start the tour. The guided tour of the Archaeological Site of Olympia was truly captivating, with the guide keeping us engaged throughout. We also had some time to take pictures afterward, which was a nice bonus! Our group of around 20 people in total, collectively decided to skip the scheduled stop at the Village due to the heat, opting instead for extra time at Kourouta Beach. The tour escort (unfortunately i cannot remember her name) was very accommodating and made the change on the fly. We ended up spending nearly two hours at the stunning Kourouta beach, which was the perfect way to end the day. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Katakolon Port—it was one of the highlights of our cruise. A huge thanks to the Avalon Team for making this experience possible!
