Hi,

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.

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

Thank you so much!

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.

Where is inexpensive but clean/safe to stay in Olympia and Kalamata?

Any recommendations?

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.

Thank you

Does anyone know about the local buses in the Peloponnese? I need to get from Kyllini to Olympia on the 2nd of September.

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?

Thanks for any information in advance.
