Step off your cruise and into the heart of Greece’s rich history and rural charm with this guided shore excursion. Begin with a scenic drive from Katakolon port to Ancient Olympia, where the Olympic flame still burns in spirit.
Explore the archaeological site where the ancient athletes once competed: the Temple of Zeus, the original Olympic stadium, and the Philippeion. You'll also have the option to visit the Olympia Archaeological Museum, home to masterpieces like the statue of Hermes by Praxiteles.
Next, escape the tourist trail with a stop at the charming Klio's Honey Farm, a family-run estate nestled in Olympia’s countryside. Learn about traditional Greek apiculture, taste local honey varieties, and enjoy homemade sweets under the shade of olive and citrus trees.
Your final destination is Kremasti, a mountain village where you'll witness or take part in a local ceremonial experience. This unique stop offers insight into living traditions, including religious or seasonal celebrations hosted by the local community (availability may vary depending on the day or season).
Return comfortably and on time to Katakolon Port, with unforgettable memories of ancient wonders, sweet flavours, and authentic Greek culture.
