This round-trip bus transfer takes you from Katakolo cruise port to Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. After a scenic drive across the western Peloponnese, you have 3 hours to explore the archaeological site on your own. See the Temple of Hera, where the flame for the modern Olympics is lit, and the Temple of Zeus, once home to the statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The same bus brings you back to the port in time for your cruise departure.
