A good place to leave the yacht when visiting Olympia. It's quite a journey from Katakolon, however well worth the effort. In most cases, a taxi driver will approach you on arrival offering a trip to Olympia. Alternative modes of transport are hiring a car, motorbike or taking the train (see details above under 'travel').
The trip there is 10 Euro return by coach or the single narrow-gauge railway. Entry to the ruins is 12 Euro that includes the Archeological Museum.
Katakolon has an interesting little museum of ancient technology with working models of pneumatic and hydraulic devices used to tell time and automated dispensers of fluids. Entry is only two Euros and the lady there is keen to explain the exhibits.
