How do you get from the port of Katakolon to Ancient Olympia Greece for 10 Euros? Cheap? Yes, it is!
Most Cruise Lines offer a half day tour to the Ancient Olympia site and museum for approximately 89 US dollars per person. You can find a much cheaper price by visiting this page: I Love Cheap Travel. You will pay only 10 Euros per person from Katakolon to Ancient Olympia by air conditioned coach. The trip takes about 30 minutes. Once in Ancient Olympia you will pay the entrance fee of 6 Euros for the site and 6 Euros for the Ancient Olympia Museum. For some reason the museum is often closed in the morning so you only need to pay only the entrance for Ancient Olympia.
Geo Tour (who operate the bus) has an office as soon as you exit the port. It has a large sign advertising the 10 Euro Deal to Ancient Olympia. There is someone outside offering the special. Enter the office and reserve your seat on the bus. The buses are punctual and clean.
Taxis are also really expensive. I think the taxi driversall get together and decide to boost the price to 100 Euros per person when there is a cruise at the port. Do not take them at that price. Use the bus at 10 Euros. They all drop you off at the same place. The taxi driver will tell you that they will bring you right to the entrance of the ancient site. So what? It is only a 4 minute walk from where the bus lets you off.
So next time you areplanning a cruise and are debating over which way to see Ancient Olympia, then I hope this article will help you decide.
