Katakolo 2026 Calendar of Events

George was great and very informative even gave up his seat for my husband to sit in his seat at the front of the bus. And hung out the back of the bus on the way home chatting to us all.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get away from the crowds and experience the quieter villages, beautiful countryside and beaches. We had a blast and loved riding in our blue buggy, listening to music, and cruising on quiet roads with gorgeous views. Stavros, our guide was awesome and took us to many scenic spots including a beautiful Monestary. We also stopped for a drink and a snack at a nice restaurant with a view of the sea. At our last stop before heading back, we got to go for a swim on a Sandy beach. Stavros took lots of pictures along the way, which he shared with us at the end of our excursion. The buggy’s are in great condition and seem to be new.

Great value. Nancy was a wonderful guide. Always ready to help and answer any questions. Dora was a fantastic driver.

Awesome experience! Christof was very on-time, nice, informative and made great recommendations (shopping and dining). It was the perfect amount of time spent in Olympia, shopping and lunch at “Ariston yeuseis” which means “excellence taste” in Greek! We wanted to spend more time in Olympia vs beach and they were very accommodating… The beach is located 10 mins from cruise port so 30 mins of exploring and picture taking was perfect for us. I highly recommend using this tour operator and ask for Christof. When we come back, we will use them again!

We were able to see the locations we preferred. It was a relaxing day. Andre was a great guide and driver. Food was amazing.

We highly recommend booking with George at Beach Buggy Xperience! We spent five hours cruising the island, visiting beaches, swimming, and enjoying Katakolon, Greece with our host, George who spoiled us rotten!

Our driver Christos did a good job getting us back and forth safe and sound to Olympia. Also the tavern he recommended for lunch was excellent and good value. We also appreciated the flexibility with the pick up time due to changes in the ship arrival and tender time. Overall a good experience.

Andreas was amazing. He is very personable and has a very nice car. He went above and beyond in taking us for a tour and for a special lunch.

It is well worth the time. The Olympic site is large and there is so much history here. Guide was great and the town is beautiful. Pleasantly surprised.

Wonderful day with Nancy and Dora! Nancy was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and made the travel time entertaining and quick! Ample time to visit the site with plenty of time left for shopping, eating, and amazing coffee in Olympia. Great day!

Lovely and very easy to find. Our guide was excellent she stayed with us the whole time at a local restaurant if we needed anything

Great beach, sandy and relaxing. Great location and only 30 minutes from port.

My experience with Travel Dora was truly wonderful, and a big part of this incredible experience was in thanks to Dora herself. She was truly an amazing guide who radiated friendly energy, was knowledgeable, caring, and always ready to help. From the moment our journey began, she made everyone feel comfortable and welcome.Visiting Olympia was one of the highlights of my family trip to Greece. Dora made the experience extra special by sharing her knowledge and passion for this incredible and historical place.Dora’s kindness, professionalism, and wonderful energy made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. She paid attention to everyone’s needs and made sure everything went smoothly throughout the trip.Thank you, Dora, for such a fantastic experience and for making our visit to Olympia so amazing! I would highly recommend Travel Dora to anyone looking for a well-organised and unforgettable trip, led by someone who genuinely cares about her guests and ensuring they have a wonderful experience from start to finish.

The tour was good. Our guide was amazing. Full of historical knowledge and details. I don't know how guides retain all this information in their brains. The bus was a wee bit warm during our travels. It was a very warm day out, we survived. The stadium was a very interesting set up. Being able to see and walk in the path of where former olympians trained, was pretty awesome. The museum had some wonderful artifacts. The free time was spent sampling olives and candies that were sold in the store. We had a bit of a delay due to the ferries that morning. The tour operators sent me messages via whatsapp as well as email, keeping me abreast of the time changes. Very efficient. I'm glad I experienced it. Next visit to Olympia, I want to do something different.

We were picked up right outside the ship in a very nice Mercedes van. Alex was prompt and very informative. We went to the ruins where he explained how our trip would work. We had a great, self paced walk through the ruins and museum and when done, Alex promptly picked us up and transported us to a lovely restaurant where we had a fabulous meal. We then headed to the Olive Mill which was also an interesting experience. After that we decided to forego the beach and return to the cruise ship, which was no trouble. We were dropped off right back at the ship. It was a great way to see the city and sights. Alex was a good host!!!

Seamless ride back-and-forth and a great destination away from many of the other cruise ship passengers. We truly had a memorable day at the beach
