A unique museum with reconstructed inventions of the ancient greek world! Interactive exhibits-replicas from the 7th c. BC.

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

We usually try and collect original, locally produced art while on our trips. This is a "true" gallery, folks. Some stores loosely use that name, but this shop is for real. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable, talented and helpful. We wound up collecting two ancient pieces that had been restored by a local artisan and we are so proud of that purchase! If you are in the market for something other than typical souvenir "trinkets", this is your place! Tip; be prepared to "bargain" on the pricing and bring Euros as you will get a much better deal with cash!

The Katakolon train, familiar to the international visitors that arrive in the area by cruise boats, offers a unique way to visit ancient Olympia. Several daily 45-minute trips from Katakolo to Olympia are scheduled every day. The train station is located in the center of Olympia, only five minutes away from the museum and the archaeological site.

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!!!
