2Katakolon
Katakolon, a small coastal town in the western part of the Peloponnese, is a popular cruise port and a gateway to the ancient site of Olympia. While it may be relatively small, Katakolon offers a pleasant harbor, traditional Greek tavernas, and charming streets to explore.
The highlight of a visit to Katakolon is, of course, a trip to the ancient Olympic site, where the Olympic Games were born over 2,700 years ago. The archaeological remains and the Olympic Museum provide a fascinating journey into ancient Greece’s athletic history.
