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!
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?
My cruise ship will stop in Katakolon for 5 hours. I would like to go to Olympia by bus. Does anyone know how to get to the bus station in Katakolon from the pier? Thanks.
Our cruise ship will be at Katakolon, Greece port on June 12. Would rather hire private guide and transportation instead of cruise ship excursion to see Olympia - ruins etc...Can anyone help?
Arriving by cruise ship and want to go to Olympia by bus or cab - how far is it? are there a lot of cabs? is bus better? how long does it take?
thanks.
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
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.
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?
I am planning next June (2005) a trip around Greece and I have problems finding ferry-prices, specially for the ferry from Kyllini to Zakynthos, and Zakynthos-Kefallonia-Ithaki-Lefkas as well.
Please, if anyone can help me by giving me any information, I would me more then gratefull.
We will be in Katakolon for a day from a cruise. From all that I can research, Katakolon seems to have really nothing to see.
If I want to plan my own trip instead of joining the cruise's excursion, is it possible to have a DIY trip? How is the transportation there? Also I read people mentioning a place call Pyrgos, is it worth going too?
