So we didn't want to pay to go see Olympia when our ship docked in Katakolon and decided to just do a beach day since it was our ship's first port in Greece. Got the five of us in a cab right at the end of the pier for 100 EU round-trip, not bad for a 20-30 minute drive each way. By the way, the taxi stand is really well run, with a person there asking where you want to go. We didn't know, just said a beach, and she pulls out this booklet showing pictures of all the local beaches. We said we wanted no rocks, and did want umbrellas and nice sand, and she suggested Kourouta Beach, and got us a driver. The driver was very pleasant and spoke manageable English so we could converse, and before we knew it we were at the beach. Plenty of available lounge chairs, all with umbrella as long as you order food or drinks from the servers who are never far. I think we were the only ones from our ship there, which was fantastic. Lots of locals. The beach was beautiful, well-maintained, and well-serviced. Nice sand, very hot but not burn your feet off hot. The food and drinks were not high-priced and delicious. The restaurant was playing great music, but not too loudly. The water was wonderfully calm and clear, my young son was able to swim around easily and loved seeing all the little fish around. He kept diving trying to catch one. Our driver met us about 3 hours later at the agreed upon time and drove us back to the ship. Great stop in Katakolon for us!
