Taxi Katakolo

About

Taxi Katakolo offers private, tailor‑made tours from the cruise port of Katakolo to the archaeological wonders of Ancient Olympia. The company, founded by local guide Andreas Stamos, uses a fleet of luxurious, fully air‑conditioned Mercedes‑class vehicles with English‑speaking drivers. Passengers are picked up at the port’s main exit and embark on a 4–5 hour half‑day or 6–7 hour full‑day excursion that takes them past the Temple of Zeus, the Temple of Hera, the ancient stadium, and the Archaeological Museum where artefacts from the Olympic Games are displayed. The tours are flexible – visitors can pause for lunch, photo stops, or brief visits to nearby monasteries and small historic villages. Vehicles include minivans (8‑passenger) and minibusses (18‑passenger), with no waiting or parking fees, giving guests a comfortable, stress‑free experience that feels authentically Greek. Guests repeatedly praise the knowledgeable guides, the intimate group size, and the convenience of the tour’s departure point directly at the port.
