Katakolo Port
Upon arrival at the cruise terminal, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your professional team, ready to lead you on an unforgettable journey. Relax in comfort as you travel through the scenic Peloponnese countryside, soaking in olive groves, rolling hills, and charming villages on your way to Ancient Olympia—the legendary birthplace of the Olympic Games.

Archaeological Site of Olympia
Step back nearly 3,000 years into the heart of ancient sporting glory. This sacred site hosted the first Olympic Games in 776 BC, and even today, the Olympic Flame is lit here before every modern Games. Wander through the Temple of Zeus, once home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and visit the Temple of Hera, where the Olympic Torch begins its journey. Stroll the ancient gymnasium, athlete training grounds, and the original Olympic stadium—still echoing with the spirit of competition and once again used during the Athens 2004 Olympics. Run on the same track as ancient and modern athletes alike!
