Ancient Olympia Transfers
Overview
Ancient Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, is reached by many different routes — most commonly from Katakolo, the nearby cruise port that sees thousands of shore-excursion visitors every season. It's also accessible from Patras, Pyrgos, Kalamata Airport (KLX) and Athens Airport (ATH). Our professional, English-speaking drivers meet you on arrival with a name board and take you directly to the archaeological site or your hotel.
Whether you're on a tight cruise-ship schedule from Katakolo or arriving from further afield, we provide comfortable, door-to-door transportation with fixed prices agreed before you travel — no meters, no surprises.
