4 hour Katakolon shore excursion (Olympia - Winery - Beach)

Andrew was an amazing guide and our driver was fantastic, too! We had a group of 17 people ages 15-60 of family and friends. They met us at the port with a sign for our reservation. The van was clean and modern with excellent air conditioning. They offered us water as a bonus. First we were taken to the ruins at Olympia. They dropped us near the ticket office and we spent about an hour walking through the ruins and looking at the signs. Amazing! We were early enough that we beat the buses, and we had it mostly to ourselves in the beginning. We then explored the museum--highly recommended. After that they took us to taste wine (Magna Grecia) and visit the olive farm (Olive Temple). Our tour included tasting, but we liked it so much that we opted to stay longer for the meal and spend less time at the beach. When we entered, we were given a glass of ouzo and an olive bread. Then, we were led to an outside area where they told us about the olives. We toured the Olive Temple to learn about the process of making olive oil. Then, we went to the covered pavillion for our meal. It was amazing! It included olives, bread, wine, Greek salad, spicy feta cheese, olive paste, tzatziki, sausage, cheese, and more. Beautiful setting! Then, they still gave us a bit of time to visit the beach. We went down to see the water and dip our toes. They got us back to the pier with plenty of time! One of our favorite days on our cruise!
