advice on Olympia
Posted: Fri October 2, 2009 09:55 AM UTC

Hi there, I will be staying on Zakynthos for a week and want to plan a short trip to Olympia. First I need to get a ferry from Zante to Killini on Peloponnese... and then….. can anybody advise how to get there from port Killini? Do I need to stay a nite at Olympia? Are there any sights or off beaten places to see?
Loads of thanks!

Katakolon to Olympia by Train
Posted: Wed September 24, 2008 08:24 PM UTC

Hi All! I'm also doing a cruise, and unfortunately, we're only in Katakolon from noon - 7. In researching, I found a train that runs to Olympia.

Has anyone taken this? Since the last train leaves Olympia at 3:42pm, we'll only have 2 hours there. Is this enough time?

Olympia from Katakolon with a wheelchair
Posted: Sun September 25, 2005 08:47 PM UTC

Hi, I am travelling with my parents to Katakolon (via a cruise ship) in October. My dad is in a wheelchair. Does anyone know whether I can take a taxi from the port to Olympia and about how much it would cost (4 passengers)? Is the archaeological museum accessible to wheelchairs? Thanks Pete

Hi,

Is it possible to reach Olympia from the port of Katakolon without taking a cruiseline excursion? Are there buses around the port area? Any details would be helpful. Thanks.

Travelling around Peloponnese, Greece
Posted: Wed February 2, 2005 10:14 AM UTC

We will be sailing from Bari, Italy to Patras, Greece, and will have a few days to explore enroute to Athens. We'd like to know how you'd recommend travelling around the Peloponnese area, as if we can, we'd love to see Olympia, Monemvasia and Mycenae..
The Diakofto-Kalavryta railway sounds fantastic, too, if we take the train across. Suggestions?
