On December 2016, we hired the taxi 27 Katakolon services to take us to Olympia. We had a wonderful time with Mr Antonis who drives very well and safely. He showed us all the most important to see in this incredible city. Along the way, he was explaining a lot of things to make us understand the culture and the real worth of that unique place and its people. It was really amazing. No words to describe how he was gentle and kind with my family. Next time in Olympia, I can't think in any other person. Thanks Anthonis to get our trip even better. See you next time.

A unique museum with reconstructed inventions of the ancient greek world! Interactive exhibits-replicas from the 7th c. BC.
Reviewed By rochesterrambler - Rochester, United Kingdom
The building may only be small world standards but it houses a wealth of knowlege regarding ancient Greek inventions. I was staggered to learn that centuries ago pilgrims visiting a holy shrine were able to use what apparently was one of the first inventions of a slot machine that would dispense a quantity of holy water by placing coins in the slot that fell onto a balance, which then opened a tap dispensing a measured amount of the water! This museum is full of similar technical inventions from industrial to medical use. If you are in Katakolo be sure not to miss this one

Katakolo Port was an afternoon stop-off on a recent cruise holiday. While the majority of people headed off for Olympus we decided to look around the small town as the weather was exceptional. This is possibly the most tranquil place on earth I have ever been to. The sea and sky were clear blue, the buildings tradition blue and white, the people so friendly and the overall atmosphere so relaxing that you could not fail but to enjoy it. There is a wonderful collection of shops selling a variety of goods, all reasonably priced, along with some lovely quay side restaurants. Will be adding this place to my return visit list without a doubt!!!
