Itinerary

  • Katakolo Port

    Upon arrival to the area of Katakolo, you can meet our driver either at our office in the port of Katakolo in a very convinient location or at the hotel you are staying at. Our driver will be waiting outside of the office or at the reception of your hotel with a sign of your name. Transfer to our private vehicle and enjoy the ride to Ancient Ilis and the Castle of Chlemoutsi.

    10 minutes

  • Archaeological Museum of Ancient Elis

    Ilida was the city that had the responsibility of organizing and holding the famous Olympic Games of antiquity. Once you arrive at Ancient Ilida museum, the spacious open-air square welcomes the visitor and offers him an unobstructed, excellent view on the one hand of the archaeological site, on the other hand of the entire plain of Elis up to medieval castle of Chlemoutsi. Visit the Archaeological Museum, with its interesting collection from the site's excavations: statues, inscriptions, reliefs, pottery, figurines, architectural members, which date from the early Hellenic period to the Roman era.

    1 hour

  • Chlemoutsi Castle

    Our driver will pick you up and drive you through small villages up to the Castle of Chlemoutsi. Originally called Château Clermont, travellers referred to this incredible structure as Castle Tornese and the Byzantines called it Chloumoutzi. Due to its strategic location, the imposing stronghold guarded the capital Andravida, the harbour of Glarentza and, of course, the palace of the House of the Villehardouin that was situated within its walls. Admire the breathtaking view to the plain of Elis and the Ionian Sea.

    1 hour

  • N/A

    We also suggest a stop at the Roman baths of Kyllini or to most exciting beach called Golden beach due to the sand that is like gold. The private vehicle will always be nearby to facilitate your transfer and you can choose if you want to have free time.

    1 hour

  • Arkoudi

    Our driver will drive you to Arkoudi where you can choose if you want to have a nice traditional lunch at the picturesque village of Arkoudi - Kyllinis or you can visit the Kyllini Horse Riding Club.

Highly recommend

Published on Nov, 2024

Great tour. We had the option to modify the sites we’d visit and the pace. A wonderful guide/driver gave us a memorable experience. The castle is a must-see. Bring a camera!

See a lot in 5 hours

Published on Oct, 2023

We left our cruise ship and Theo Cars is directly outside the port with its sign on the building making it impossible to miss. We choose this tour as we had already visited Olympia. Our driver was Dimitris was very friendly and helpful, and the car was impressive. We visited ancient Ilis which was really interesting and was deserted when we visited. We also went to the nearby museum which had accessible pieces going back to several centuries BC. Then on to the 13th century Chlemoutsi Castle which was amazing with spectacular views. We went to a bistro overlooking the sea before heading back to the port. It was five hours really well spent, thank you Dimitris.

Excellent Tour

Published on Jul, 2023

Dimitris was absolutely excellent, the tour was private and we were able to tailor it to our needs. We got to do way more than what was offered with the cruise ship. He had excellent recommendations and was so kind and helpful. Definitely recommend booking with them.
