Katakolon is a small coastal town in western Peloponnese, Greece, serving as a maritime gateway to the legendary Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Katakolon has become a popular cruise port thanks to its convenient location. The harbor is surrounded by scenic hills, and along the coastline, you’ll find cozy cafés, shops with local delicacies, and souvenirs. Tourists often begin their exploration of the region here before heading to the archaeological sites of Olympia, located about 30 km from the port.
Katakolon offers a peaceful atmosphere and traditional Greek charm: narrow streets, houses with tiled roofs, and the azure waters of the Ionian Sea. The surrounding area features wineries producing local wine, as well as small beaches ideal for swimming and relaxation. The town also hosts the Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, showcasing unique models of ancient inventions—from automatic doors to early forms of computers. Katakolon is a harmonious blend of history, nature, and authentic Greek hospitality.
Piraeus is the gateway to Athens , which, in turn, is rightfully considered the center of the centers of the whole world, with the main attraction - the acropolis. Piraeus is an old port city serving the port of Athens, the largest port in Greece to date. Piraeus is part of the great Athens, which boasts an abundance of attractions, including unique monuments of national fine art. More than two hundred museums and galleries, including the University History Museum, the Ceramics Archaeological Museum and many others, will hospitably welcome you within their walls and familiarize themselves with the culture of this area.
